Christiana Care Health System - Multidisciplinary Autism Program

For people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), navigating the world and finding support can be challenging. ChristianaCare’s Multidisciplinary Autism Program is here to help children, adolescents and adults with ASD make sense of the world around them and be more at ease in it. Unlike some other programs that only diagnose ASD, ChristianaCare’s program, led by psychiatrist Narpinder K. Malhi, M.D., offers complete services, from diagnosis through treatment. We work with patients to set and meet goals, no matter their skill level or area of need. ChristianaCare offers a family-centered environment where our team of specialists works together to create a treatment plan for your child or other family member that may include: Cognitive behavioral therapy. Developmental and relationship-based therapy. Family therapy and group therapy to improve social skills. Medication Treatment for associated psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression and behavior disorders. Additional services from a broad range of experts throughout ChristianaCare, such as neurologists, speech and occupational therapists, nutritionists and others.
