The Annual Community Autism Expo at the Clark Family Branch of the St. Louis County Public Library was a success! Dr. Lane and our clinic director Michelle Tankersley represented STLCCH, and met a lot of incredible families and community partners!

1. See your child significantly more quickly than the large university or hospital-based clinics (i.e., in a matter of weeks rather than months or years)
2. Diagnose and recommend the whole range of neurodevelopmental or neurocognitive conditions in children - not just autism or ADHD
3. See your child at a cost that is comparable to what families might pay toward their deductible if they used their commercial health insurance.
