Autism spectrum disorders service available
Considerable evidence exists in the clinical literature and in practice that early diagnosis and intervention may be integral to the successful treatment of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Children's, in conjunction with UT Southwestern Medical Center, offers a diagnostic assessment and identification service of children with suspected ASD. The assessments take place every Wednesday for children from 18 months to the age of 5. Additionally, ASD diagnostic assessments for older children (6-18) are available at other times during the week.
The service offers:
- Multidisciplinary assessment with each case receiving collaboration from professionals in Psychology, Psychiatry and Speech Pathology.
- Same-day evaluations results for children from 18 months to 5 years.
- Referrals made within Children's and to outside community agencies.
- Ongoing psychopharmacological evaluation and treatment, when applicable.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact Astrid Leon at 214-456-5931.
