"There are people that will impact you forever, and form a support system around your family. I would say the majority of those people we've met through Fraser."

Autism Therapy Services

Fraser Autism Therapy Services provide individual, group and family therapies to address the social-emotional needs of children, teens and young adults who have autism spectrum disorders and their families. Autism Therapy Services are structured to promote adaptive coping skills, decrease at-risk behaviors and to improve overall adaptive functioning in the family.

The need for outpatient therapy is determined by a licensed mental health professional during a diagnostic assessment and based on criteria for medical necessity. An individual treatment plan identifies goals and objectives as well as the frequency of services. Therapy is provided by masters or doctoral level therapists.

increasing adaptive behavior
promoting attachment behaviors
