Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders

Free Screening Clinic for Autism Spectrum Disorders

April 5th, 2008

Autism Spectrum Disorders have become much more common over the last two decades, and emphasis is being placed upon early identification. Because children vary greatly in how they develop, especially between birth and 5 years of age, care must be taken not to mistakenly identify a child as having an autism spectrum disorder. On the other hand, in order to provide services as early as possible, it is also important not to miss early signs of a problem.

This is a free screening program for children 6 years and under, by appointment only. We will accommodate as many families as we can schedule. This is not a diagnostic service, but rather a brief 30 minute screening process with you and your child to indicate if further evaluation is advised. We will meet with you to review important aspects of your child’s development, interact with your child, and provide you with advice as to how to proceed based upon what is or is not found. Please allow at least 1 hour at the screening as we require time after the initial brief screening to compile important information before having a discussion with you.

Families wishing to attend will be able to contact us in March by calling 877-788-4ASD (toll free) or email autism@binghamton.edu to register. Below, please include your name, address, phone number and best time to call, child’s age, and preferred time for an appointment on April 5th (between 9am and 2:30 pm).

If you wish to be placed on the waiting list, please fill out the survey below
