Autism Evaluation & Treatment
Our child & adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists work together to evaluate and provide ongoing treatment for disorders along the autistic spectrum.
Comprehensive care for your child is available at Marshall Health through medication management, individual therapy, family therapy, psycho-educational testing and group therapy to enhance appropriate and social behaviors.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often appears during the first three years of life and can affect a child’s nervous system, growth and development. Each child may have a slightly different set of symptoms. Below are some of the most common symptoms of ASD.

- Does repeated movements, such as rocking or flapping fingers or hands
