Autism Day Treatment Program

The Autism Day Treatment (ADT) program at St. David's Center is for children ages 18 months to five years, who have a medical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Our ADT program is the only day treatment program in the West metro that uses a mental health approach and leverages an interdisciplinary team of child therapists including a:

• Licensed psychologist/mental health professional
• Mental health practitioner
• Music therapist
• Occupational therapist
• Speech/language therapist

This intensive program takes an integrated approach to treating challenges associated with ASD – including difficulties with social interaction, communication, sensory processing and self-regulation - and creates a tailored plan to meet each child's individual needs.

The ADT program at St. David's Center then provides an opportunity for children on the autism spectrum to transfer to a supportive and inclusive preschool in the same building – resulting in children that function well inside and outside of the classroom.

We recognize that the entire family is affected by autism; therefore, we value communication and collaboration with parents and caregivers of every child in the program. Support groups and workshops also are available.

Payment/Funding

• Many major insurances, Medical Assistance/TEFRA, PMAPs and private pay .
• Medica customers may qualify for our autism support services.
