Overview
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability. We understand that early diagnosis and early intervention can lead to positive outcomes.
Easterseals offers many services for children with ASD. In addition to our core physical, occupational and speech-language therapies, we offer an Autism Diagnostic Clinic and other specialized clinics, assistive technology (AT), inclusive daycare, and support for parents and siblings. With advanced clinical training on services including DIRFloortime, children with ASD will grow relationships with their caregivers and expand their emotional, social and cognitive skills.
We’re here to meet each child where they are and help them grow with confidence.
