How do I get started?
Parents interested in learning more about this program should contact a Henry Ford Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities specialist by emailing us at autismcenter@hfhs.org.
After a brief phone interview with a CADD intake coordinator, each family will have a better understanding of the care and services available, by discussing their concerns and briefly reviewing the child's developmental and medical history. The purpose of the intake interview is to determine if CADD is the best fit for each child and their family.
Once a child is referred to CADD, a diagnostic session is scheduled at one of the locations. Following this meeting, each family is sent an information packet to be completed and returned before their next session. It is each family's responsibility to contact their insurance company to understand coverage.
