As the population of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) patients continues to rise, healthcare providers will be obligated to develop systems, protocols, or procedures to ensure optimal assessment, care experience and health outcomes for such patients. This project will examine the current standard of care of ASD patients at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI in order to advocate for future hospital-wide policy changes.

Advisors: Kathleen Donise, Rachel Balaban and Frank Overly
