Referring your patient to ADMI

Our interdisciplinary team, in partnership with our patients, their families and referring physicians, is enhancing our understanding of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. At ADMI, our goal is to help our patients reach their highest individual potential.

Who can be referred to ADMI?

Children kindergarten age and younger who have:

• Known or suspected developmental delays (in language, motor, social and/or self-help skills).
• High risk for developmental delays (e.g., genetic syndromes known to be associated with developmental disorders, prematurity and other known risk factors).

Children ages 7 to 9 who have or are suspected to have:

• Intellectual disability or other severe developmental impairments (significant deficits in language, motor, social and/or self-help skills).
• Autism with associated learning and developmental impairments (significant deficits in language, motor and/or self-help skills).
• If child is in school, a copy of school Evaluation Report and IEP documenting significant learning concerns is required.

Children ages 10 to 18 with:

• Documented intellectual disability with or without autism (diagnosed using valid, standardized methods). We can transfer care of children with these conditions who’ve been followed by another provider.
• If child is in school, a copy of school Evaluation Report and IEP documenting significant learning concerns is required.
