Autism

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can affect a child's behavior and social and communications skills. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all children be screened for autism spectrum disorder at their 18- and 24-month well-child checkups​. Research shows that starting an intervention program as soon as possible can improve outcomes for many children on the autism spectrum. Learn more in the articles below from the American Academy of Pediatrics
