Care and Support Updates (April 2022)
Updates on the latest clinical offerings from our centers in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area.
April 13, 2022
This April we’re highlighting care for children and families in the autism community. Children with autism can have a wide range of symptoms and behaviors, including struggling with social and communication skills. At the Child Mind Institute, we provide comprehensive evaluations using the gold standard diagnostic tools for autism, the ADI-R and ADOS. Many children and adolescents with autism or related neurodevelopmental disorders can benefit from behavior therapies that improve functioning and address co-occurring mental health disorders like depression or anxiety.
For comprehensive evaluation and treatment, please reach out to us today.
