NewYork-Presbyterian Breaks Ground on Autism Center

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City announced the ground breaking of the Center for Autism and the Developing Brain at the hospital's Westchester campus in White Plains, N.Y.

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and its affiliated medical schools, Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, are collaborating with the New York Center for Autism to develop the 11,000-square-foot facility.

The center is designed to provide research, education and comprehensive services to people with autism spectrum disorders from infancy through adulthood. Services will include diagnostics, intensive short-term treatment and long-term follow-up, and the facility will serve as a referral hub to connect patients with other community resources. The center will take an integrated treatment approach, combining expanded applied behavior analysis and other therapies.

The facility is slated to open in early 2013.
