Henderson, NV (KTNV) -- More kids than ever are being diagnosed with Autism and these children and their families need treatment and help. They're finding it at Touro University's Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities.
"Very nice, what's your mom's phone number?"
12-year-old Steven has autism. For 3 years he's come for treatment to Touro University's Center for Autism and Developmental disabilities. And in that time, his family has seen dramatic improvements.
Mom Chris Bailey says, "They've helped us transition him into middle school, issues that come up at home -- they're there for us. It's a family issue. It's not just the child it's everybody in the family and the center is there for everybody."
Taneesha Porter is one of Steven's favorite therapists. But a variety of therapists -- with different specialties -- work together under the direction of Dr. Nicole Cavenagh. "Even if a child is only accessing 1 or 2 therapies, their treatment plan is looked at from all of our clinicians so it makes a whole child approach."
