Project Description:

In collaboration with The Children's Hospital, JFK Partners is a participant in the cooperative multi-center program for comprehensive care clinics, serving persons with autism. These two institutions provide excellent clinical services, in autism and in medical specialties relevant to the health and well-being of persons with this complex neurobiological disorder. Faculty with expertise in autism, across a variety of disciplines (e.g., pediatrics, psychology, psychiatry), will adopt the common evaluation battery, assess a minimum of 100 persons with autism per year, share data through the ISAAC system, and participate actively in the collaborative network. We plan to streamline referral systems, facilitate quicker access to care, support physicians in serving the medical needs of their patients with autism, and provide a "one-point-of-contact" model of coordinated care for families. With the support of the parent community in the Rocky Mountain region, the university, the hospital, and the infrastructure and collaborative opportunities provided by the Autism Treatment Network, we hope to improve the quality of medical care for persons with autism in our community.
