Autism and Communications Disorder Clinic

Comprehensive evaluation of your child by our team of pediatric specialists

The Autism and Communications Disorder Clinic (ACDC) provides a comprehensive evaluation of your child by our team of pediatric specialists. The purpose of this clinic is to evaluate the whole child and identify areas of need and support. In order to provide the most thorough evaluation of your child, the evaluation is scheduled over the course of three to four separate visits. This allows each member of the team to fully evaluate the needs of your child. Once your child is seen by each specialist of the team, a parent conference is scheduled to discuss the results of the assessments, diagnostic impressions, and further recommendations.
