Specializing in the Treatment of Adolecents and Young Adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their Families.
The National Center for Autism Research and Education (NCARE is committed to utilizing research-supported strategies to help individuals with Austism reach their maximum potential. Involvement of the whole family renders these interventions more substantial and sustaining. Research shows that parents with Autistic children are at greater risk for depression, isolation, fatigue, and divorce. At NCARE, we believe that by strengthening families we improve our effectiveness in treating individuals with Autism.
Our clinic will be open to students of NCARE nonpublic school and to those in the general community.
