The Seattle Children’s Autism Center opened in August 2009, becoming a national model for providing comprehensive, family-centered care. In keeping with Seattle Children’s vision to be the best pediatric hospital, the Autism Center is working to provide the very best care for children with autism.
WHAT THE AUTISM CENTER DOES
Seattle Children’s Autism Center provides assessment, diagnosis, medication evaluation and management, and a variety of therapies for children with autism spectrum disorders as well as support and education for their families. We offer a range of medical and mental health services for babies, children and young adults.
We work closely with Children’s Neurodevelopmental, Neurology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, Sleep Disorders, Genetics and Gastroenterology programs so that your child has complete and coordinated care.
WHAT DOES AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER MEAN?
Autism is a complex neurological disorder that affects the way a person thinks, behaves, communicates, and interacts with others. Autism is a spectrum disorder. This means it affects some children mildly and affects other children much more. You may have heard these terms used to refer to autism: autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome, or pervasive developmental disorder–not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS).
