Autism Programs

The Center for Development & Disability (CDD) serves and supports New Mexicans with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Through generous state funding, the CDD provides resources and partnerships for families, school systems and communities throughout New Mexico.

Autism Programs offered through the CDD are a collection of education, training and consultation services. Our statewide programs focus on supporting and serving individuals with ASD, as well as their families, caregivers, educators and communities.

CDD Autism Programs include:

• Advocacy support and training for people with ASD, their families and their community
• Community awareness and intervention workshops and webinars
• In-home training for parents and caregivers
• Psychology internships and fellowships, as well as other discipline-specific training focused on diagnosis of and intervention/education for individuals with ASD

The Autism Programs include a variety of disciplines with specific expertise in ASD; clinical psychologists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, educators, occupational therapists, family members, advocates, counselors and others all lend their expertise to our programs and services.
