Autism Solutions
Family Services for Families in Need
IU 13 is pleased to announce our new services for children and adults on the Autism Spectrum and their
families. Currently, the Supervisor of Autism Solutions, Dr. Carolyn Bruey, can provide psychological
services to children and adults on the Autism Spectrum and their families, including diagnostic
evaluations, individual and family therapy, and behavioral consultation. In the future, we plan to expand
our service model to become a multidisciplinary “clinic” providing after-school private speech and
occupational therapies, as well as behavioral support by a Behavior Specialist.
All services provided by the Autism Solutions team will focus on developing effective strategies for
improving the child’s success in the home as well as in the community.
How does Autism Solutions Work?
The incidence of Autism Spectrum Disorders continues to increase, resulting in an escalating need for
services for children and adults on the Autism Spectrum as well as their families. Autism Solutions
provides an individualized approach, tailored to each family’s needs. After an initial intake consultation
with Dr. Bruey, a personalized treatment plan will be created incorporating other Autism Solutions team
members as warranted. Given that early identification and intervention can be crucial in terms of future
prognosis, one of our highest priorities will be to provide diagnostic evaluations for 18-36 month old
toddlers suspected of being on the autism spectrum. However, children and adults of all ages who are on
the Autism Spectrum can be referred for services.
