New Center for Autism

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital officially kicked off construction for the Center for Autism and the Developing Brain. Slated to open by early 2013, the new 11,000-square-foot Center looks to provide cutting-edge research, education and comprehensive services to people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at every stage of life, from infancy through adulthood. The Center arrives on the scene at a time when ASD is on the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism affects 1 to 1.5 million American children and adults. That means one in 88 children – the majority of them boys – have been diagnosed with ASD. The cause of this increase is not well understood. Center for Autism and the Developing Brain, Westchester Division, 21 Bloomingdale Road, White Plains. 997-5848. http://nyp.org/services/center-autism-developing-brain.html.
