What this is, in plain language

UCSF's Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders Center provides diagnostic evaluation and ongoing care for children with autism spectrum disorder and related conditions like ADHD, from a team that includes child psychiatrists, psychologists, a social worker and a speech-language pathologist, with particular expertise in diagnosing children under three.

Getting started

Getting seen requires a referral from your child's doctor via UCSF's universal referral form; call (415) 476-7000 to request an appointment or ask about next steps while the referral is being processed.
