University of Washington – About this Clinic

UW Medicine is pleased to announce the development of its Adult Autism Clinic.  UW Medicine has collaborated with the Seattle Children’s Autism Center to develop this service designed to meet the complex needs of individuals over 18 years of age with autism spectrum disorders. The clinic will open on a part-time basis on September 6, 2012, and will continue to phase in operations over the next year.  During this period, UW Medicine will assess the various needs of patients and families and customize care management approaches to assure the best possible patient experience.  We will also collaborate closely with Seattle Children’s to build on their broad expertise to tailor services to meet the needs of adult autism patients.

Social Story/Narrative Examples

When an agency introduces new direct support staff, take a picture or video of them for the person with autism to review prior to the introduction. Provide a social story with their picture and the role they will play in their life.  Below is an example of a white board that is located in a central location for all to see. Review the board with the resident by showing them who will be there for them, as well as a roommate if it’s applicable.
