Clinic closes out second year of autism assessments

05/17/22

The Woodcock Autism Assessment Clinic (WAAC) closed out its second year of providing comprehensive autism assessments to the community. The WAAC is a collaboration between the TWU School Psychology graduate program, Speech and Hearing graduate program, and the Occupational Therapy program.

Graduate students from all three programs participated in multidisciplinary evaluations investigating the possibility of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children ages 18 months to 18 years.

“This is a huge need in our community to determine the presence of ASD in order to access early intervention services to support long-term success,” said Wendi Johnson, clinic director and TWU faculty member in Psychology.

The program received positive feedback from students and from families of the clinic’s clients.
