Our goal is to maximize a child's neurodevelopment through early identification, innovation through research and coordinated treatment and care.
Team Approach
Children with autism have unique medical and clinical needs and often have co-occurring medical conditions. Here, you'll find a team of specialists and clinicians working together to address the healthcare needs of the patient in:
Screening for Autism

Characteristics of autism spectrum disorder include:
- Trouble with social interaction
- Difficulty with communication
- Repetitive behaviors (hand-flapping)
- Ridged behaviors
- Obsessive compulsive behaviors
