Autism Services

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in early childhood and affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. According to the CDC, 1 in 36 children in the U.S. have Autism, up from the previous rate of 1 in 44. 1 in 45 adults in the U.S. have Autism. In the U.S., about 4 in 100 boys and 1 in 100 girls have Autism.

Our Medical Rehabilitation & Behavioral Health and Neuropsychology Departments offer many services that can help address concerns a patient or their caregiver may have related to Autism. Effective treatment of the challenging behaviors associated with Autism requires multi-provider involvement, better understanding and support, and focused parental education.
