Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects a child's ability to communicate and interact with others. 1 in 88 children are now diagnosed to be within the Autism Spectrum. Our speaker this month is Dr. Alexis Reyes MD, FPPS, FPSDBP who will expound on the concept of the “The Medical Home for Persons with Autism".
