The toys used during the evaluation are dated and not the best in my opinion. The facility was nice though.

This needs to be a center fit CHIILDREN with Austism. I would not bring my Austistic Teen or adult to this facility. Staff doesn’t seem to know how to handle adults and leave them to do whatever they please, not attentive to them at all. However if you have a child this facility is good as they seem to be more geared to helping children to progress rather than adults. The 1 star is for the children’s department 0 stars other than that

My son was bitten by another child and apparently this child is a serial biter. I pulled my son out of the core program for his safety. CFA needs to reevaluate their protocols when it comes to children who need more help than what they offer. This child should have been discharged from program. All they did was an incident report that made it seem my child was at fault for getting attacked because he had a toy the biter wanted. The person that saw the incident failed my child as she saw the entire thing unfold yet did nothing to intervene. CFA failed to protect my child and that is unforgivable and unacceptable. They could not even guarantee that it wouldn’t happen again because they did not reprimand this other child . I will be talking to a lawyer because this will not be swept under the rug and they will be held accountable.

Given the other reviews I saw for adult women seeking an assessment here, I was concerned, but I had an overall positive experience. I was listened to by both my intake interviewer and my assessing doctor. My 12-page self-written report was incorporated into their assessment and final report and diagnosis. I did think the in-person assessment was more suited for children; but I think that signifies a lack of progressiveness in the medical perception of autism generally. My report did take quite a while to get to me, and the communication could have been better (I checked with non-autistic people I know, and they said my emails were reasonable and not too frequent, and that The Center for Autism should have replied more often). There are also spelling mistakes and incorrect names and pronouns in my report.

Very confusing to find the right place. There are, as it turns out, two centers for autism in PA-- one on 2801 Grant Ave and one at 4601 Market Street--and they didn't tell me which one to go to, so I missed my appointment. Also, despite saying they screen adults, the testing is designed for children, so a lot of the questions and activities were largely dependent on symptoms a child would have, without taking into consideration the fact that someone undiagnosed in their 20s would act differently. Overall its probably great for children, but I wouldn't go back.
