Autism & Developmental Medicine
We improve the lives of children diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. Our program combines medical management, behavior analysis, and research, to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient. This unique approach helps us understand what causes these disorders and how to provide better care for our patients.
Some neurodevelopmental disorders are obvious, while others are hard to spot. Our specialists provide diagnostic testing, along with intervention and treatment, for a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. Our goal is to work with children and their caregivers to achieve the best outcome for a child’s diagnosis.
