Visit The Autism Center
The Autism Center at Children’s Hospital provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and evidence-based treatment for children with suspected or confirmed autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

What is autism spectrum disorder?
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills and communication and, repetitive behaviors, interests or activities.
We know that there is not one autism but many subtypes, most influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, each person with autism has a distinct set of strengths and challenges.
Our team includes:
Licensed psychologists, post doctoral fellows, behavioral pediatrician, and psychometrists.
