APIC is a grant funded program created by the University at Buffalo Department of Psychiatry that provides an intermediate level of care created through a community-based, psychiatrist-directed Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP) Diversion Team partnered with existing local agencies. APIC serves children, adolescents, and young adults with autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, and traumatic brain injury, with or without accompanying mental illness. We provide several unique services including intermediate level care coordination, medication management, dually diagnosed wraparound services, and access to mobile psychiatric care. While APIC makes every effort to support the families of all referrals, it is primarily focused on meeting the needs of individuals who can not be served in traditional mental health settings and who would likely require hospitalization or residential placement in the absence of our services.

Effective medication management is crucial for children on the autism spectrum. Here are some best practices:

Comprehensive Medication List: Maintain an up-to-date list of all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

Regular Reviews: Conduct periodic reviews to assess the effectiveness and necessity of each medication.

Clear Communication: Ensure all caregivers and healthcare providers are informed about the child's medication regimen.

Monitor for Side Effects: Be vigilant for any adverse reactions and report them promptly.

APIC collaborates with healthcare teams to implement these practices, ensuring optimal care for children with complex needs.
