The Autism Program at The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio offers evaluation and management services for children with autism. If your child needs a diagnosis of autism or needs a diagnosis verified, we offer a multidisciplinary autism evaluation which is a six to eight hour appointments. This evaluation includes members from our team specializing in development pediatrics, neuropsychology, audiology, social work, speech/language pathology, and occupational therapy.
AUTISM BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT/TREATMENTThe Children's Hospital of San Antonio's Comprehensive Autism Program has partnered with the Autism Treatment Center and UTSA's Department of Educational Psychology to provide Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is considered the gold standard for children with autism. This collaboration relies on grant funding and helps decrease the wait time between diagnosis of autism and the beginning treatment. The grant also includes training of new ABA therapists and a research component. Children who receive a diagnosis of autism at The Children's Hospital of San Antonio are able to be placed into this program. Due to our current funding, this may change in the future.
