Autism Spectrum Disorder Program
GHC-SCW is proud to introduce our focused Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Program!
The GHC-SCW Autism Spectrum Disorder Program provides neuroaffirming and inclusive evidence-based services to children diagnosed with ASD aged 4-16 years and their parents/caregivers.
This Program helps school age children who have trouble making and keeping friends, or who experience difficulty managing their emotions.
- Designed to support individuals on the Autism Spectrum and their caregivers.
- Tailored to support individuals using evidence-based techniques
Program Details
During each session:
- Children learn a new skill and practice with a trained professional.
- Parents learn how to support their children’s social or emotional development, coaching them as they practice and generalize their skills.
Depending on the child’s needs, programs are offered:
- Individually, in the child’s home (in-home appointments must be in Dane County)
- Virtually
- At a GHC-SCW clinic (group appointments only)
Each appointment is:
