Our expert providers assess and treat emotional and behavioral challenges in people diagnosed with developmental disorders. Outpatient services include psychiatry, psychology, developmental pediatrics, behavior analysis, outpatient therapy and case management. We also have three onsite school programs: early intervention, preschool and K-12.
Who we serve
Our providers serve children, adolescents and adults who have an established diagnosis of autism and/or intellectual disabilities and are experiencing significant behavioral health challenges requiring a team approach to care.
