Parent Support: Medical Connections, Information, and Care

The parent education team works closely with the medical team to provide comprehensive support for families.

If children meet the criteria for autism during an evaluation, their parents can meet with a parent consultant right after the exam. The consultant will explain key terms and provide a vetted list of private ABA companies. Parents leave the office with a blue folder of handouts, guidance about next steps, and a plan for how they can help support their children.

We’re here for the families with ongoing support after medical follow-up appointments with additional resources and advice.

Families can also choose to attend one of our many programs or work directly with parent consultants for one-on-one help.

Everyone in our office — from Dr. Jennifer Cope to Leslie, our receptionist — cares about autism families, so we’ve created an atmosphere of acceptance and appreciation. This care, along with curated information, is a new model for medical care for autism families.
