• The Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (CASD) was established in fall 2007. It is one of seven new Regional Autism Centers in New York state that are coordinated by SUNY at Albany. Affiliated with Binghamton University, the CASD is dedicated to disseminating information on evidence-based practices to improve services and outcomes for families and children with autism spectrum disorders for 11 counties in south-central New York. Administratively the Center is one of several programs conducted by the Institute for Child Development at Binghamton University.

Mission:

• Our mission is to provide education/training and technical assistance on the use of evidence-based models of educational practice for autism spectrum disorders to the diverse population of families, educators, and community professionals in south-central New York. Our services, in the form of both orientation/overview and focused in-service programs for schools, are provided at no cost to school districts within our catchment area. We also provide educational programs for families in cooperation with their school districts.

Where is the CASD?

• We are located in Binghamton, New York in the Innovative Technologies Complex which is near the Binghamton University campus. We are located at: 85 Murray Hill Rd., Vestal NY, 13850.
