Description:

The Ted Lindsay Foundation HOPE Center at Corewell Health Children’s provides Hands-On Parent Education (HOPE) to families of children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disorders. The autism support services offered by the center continue to grow thanks to a generous gift from The Ted Lindsay Foundation.

In the past, there were few scientifically-supported childhood development disorder treatments to offer families, but now there is hope. Research demonstrates that intensive behavioral intervention can dramatically change the lives of children with autism and other developmental disorders. Techniques from the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) effectively teach children to communicate, play appropriately and interact with others. The Lindsay HOPE Center uses a family-focused approach, stressing partnerships between Beaumont Children’s behavioral intervention specialists and parents. 

ASD Diagnosis: Up to age 14 for evaluation

The Ted Lindsay Foundation HOPE Center at Corewell Health Children’s is an approved AAEC (Approved Autism Evaluation Center) for Blue Cross Blue Shield.
