Preparation for Your Visit
To obtain an appointment in the Autism Language Program, families must fill out the ALP intake form, so that the clinician can best prepare for the child's first visit. Reports, tests or other evaluations are helpful to send also, if they are available. Once the information has been received, an appointment can be scheduled.
What to Bring to Your First Visit
- Your child's favorite food, toys, movies so that your child feels as comfortable as possible
- Any other reports or tests
