About Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a broad term used to describe a group of neurodevelopmental disorders. Children with ASD possess a complex condition that affects brain development and can create difficulty with social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication, and emotional control.

Many children with ASD learn and react differently than typically developing children. Each child possesses their own unique set of challenges, skills and strengths. Each has a particular way of processing, socializing and behaving. This results in each one having a unique, individualized disorder. While no cure has been found for autism, early treatment and intervention have proven to have a profound impact on many children’s growth and development.
