Collaborative Autism Diagnosis and Intervention Program (CADI)
Els for Autism offers the Collaborative Autism Diagnosis and Intervention (CADI) program. The CADI Program is for children under the age of 7 years. The Els for Autism transdisciplinary CADI team of specialists includes professionals in the areas of clinical psychology, special education, speech-language pathology, and applied behavior analysis.
The acronym, CADI, was not a coincidence. Just as a golf “caddie” guides and supports a golfer through a round of course, our “CADI” team will walk side-by-side with you and your family, providing information, recommendations, and support throughout the identification, evaluation, and intervention process.
Our team of highly skilled professionals provides a comprehensive evaluation and report which includes a profile of strengths and weaknesses, recommendations that can be used in the development of treatment goals, and a formal diagnosis of ASD, as applicable.
