Abstract
The Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Partial Hospitalization Program was created to provide intensive treatment to children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental disabilities in addition to significant behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric disorders, who are experiencing difficulty functioning in home, school, and community environments despite having received outpatient treatment. The key components of the program include a multidisciplinary team which coordinates care to develop an individualized treatment plan, including a behavioral assessment, medication evaluation and monitoring, and intensive individual family and group therapies, as well as speech–language communication and occupational therapy consultation and treatment. This chapter provides an overview of the program model and of the evidence-based practices that are included in the treatment.
