What resources are available in schools and clinics for children with ASDs?
Resources for children with ASDs and their families vary greatly from one city or state to another. If you are concerned about your child, or think that your child may have an ASD, talk to your child’s health care professional and/or teacher. Your child’s health care professional may refer your child to a specialist like a developmental pediatrician or psychologist for a full evaluation. His or her teacher may ask the special education department of your local school district to do a psycho-educational evaluation of your child.
