My son Joseph is 22 now. When he started high school he couldn’t take the noise in the hallways or the crowds. He had no friends but he loved gym class. His teacher Mr. Stango took him under his wing, made him his assistant in class and made him feel important. It made me proud to know that he wasn’t being just pushed through the system. To this day he likes to talk about his experience in Mr. Stango’s class.
The Autism Center at Hospital for Special Care (HSC) is an integrated resource providing diagnostic, assessment, therapy services and comprehensive guidance to caregivers, educators and family members across the region. The recently opened in-patient unit is the first of its kind in Connecticut and only one of 10 in the country. The Autism Center at HSC is the nation’s first and only Patient Centered Specialty Practice for autism recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for its responsiveness to patients and medical colleagues, cooperation and integration with other healthcare groups and dedication to continuous improvement.
