Help for Autism

The Institute for child development at the Joseph Sanzari Children’s Hospital at the Hackensack University Medical Center has initiated a ‘Medical Home for Autism‘.  The ‘Medical Home‘ establishes partnerships between patients, clinicians, workshops, support groups and resources for children with autism and their families.  The “Medical Home” acts as a central source of health and wellness for the whole family, providing leading edge care.
