Overview
Our Autism Clinic provides diagnostic evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We see children ages 2 to 5 years old, to evaluate social and emotional development, communication, thinking and problem-solving ability, adaptive skills and behavior. Autism evaluations can be initiated by parents or through a referral from your child’s pediatrician. The Autism Clinic can determine if your insurance covers the evaluation prior to scheduling an assessment.
Autism Diagnosis
The Arc worked with professionals to create a best practice diagnostic clinic. The clinic was established to fill a need in our community for low income children and families who did not have resources to get a diagnoses for their child. This diagnosis helps to open up many new services for these kids.
State Autism Waiver
In October of 2022, The Arc became a provider for the state autism waiver. While there are still services that can be provided under this waiver, our program will start providing in-home educational services to parents of children with autism. In the future, additional services will be added.
Connecting Employers to the Untapped Disability Labor Market
Many local agencies, schools, social and religious groups, and other organizations serve people with disabilities. The Arc@Work helps our corporate clients forge connections and vet these organizations as sources for qualified and talented job seekers.
Securing Supports for New Hires
The Arc@Work partners with our corporate clients, local talent sourcing organizations, and state governments to ensure that each individual in need of workplace accommodations is accounted for and that their needs are met.
Achieving Cultural and Financial ROI
As with all business decisions, the success and sustainability of a disability hiring project can be measured in part by its return on investment. The Arc@Work supports our corporate clients in creating strategies to achieve and measure financial ROI as well as creating branding and external messaging strategies to promote our clients’ disability inclusive work culture.
TalentScout
TalentScout gives you the tools and insight to create a culture of inclusion – and build higher levels of productivity in the workplace. The toolkit content has been vetted by people with autism, and it includes their first-hand accounts and insights as job applicants and employees.
The Arc promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supports their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes.
