MyNemours Sign-InWhy Choose Us
At the Nemours Swank Autism Center, we’re here for you and your family from diagnosis through transition to adult services. It's a partnership — we want to work with you to provide support and care as your child grows.
We prepare children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to grow up to be as independent as possible through our:
Collaboration and expertise.
Our services are offered by autism experts from behavioral health (psychology and psychiatry) and developmental medicine. We also work with many providers from other specialties to offer full-service autism care.
Convenience and reduced-stress, sensory-friendly environment.
Parking at and accessing our clinic are easy. Our services are provided by all of our team members in one place. The Swank Autism Center is a newly renovated clinic space that was designed to provide a comfortable experience for children who have difficulties with transition and sensory sensitivities. The center is across the street from Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children (next to the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware ), with our own onsite parking. So your family can get our autism care in a calmer, less stimulating environment.
Research and training.
Our team leads and takes part in many research projects aimed at understanding ASD and improving services and treatments for children and families. Nemours-designed training programs in psychology and pediatrics are also helping to develop the next generation of autism experts.
Support and education.
We’re well connected in the community — collaborating with schools, other providers and families to allow children to reach their full potential.
