SACE provides a comprehensive evaluation, treatment and consultation services beginning from age six throughout the life span* for individuals for ASD, behavioral and psychiatric disorders. Evaluation goes beyond determining if an individual meets criteria for autism and includes consideration of how the autism is affecting the individual, highlighting strengths and areas of challenge in order to design appropriate and individualized intervention.
