Families can be seen at either our site in New York City, New York or Hackensack, New Jersey.

Families will also receive free admission to an autism symposium in New York City on April 16, 2011. The symposium will include an array of topics from clinical evaluation to intervention, as well as opportunities to "ask the experts" and network with other families.
