What is CANDO?
CANDO is the first and only integrated comprehensive early intervention program in Central Massachusetts for children ages 3 to 13 years old with autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

A joint effort of UMMS and UMass Memorial Health Care, the clinic provides a single point of entry for comprehensive evaluations and integrated, interdisciplinary short-term treatment. A care team comprising a child psychiatrist, pediatric neurologist, occupational and speech therapist, and family resource specialist, coordinate efforts with a focus on stabilization and establishing bridges to community and school providers.
CANDO is also supports research by basic and clinical scientists to better understand autism spectrum and other neurodevelopmental disorders, and translate that knowledge into treatment and care for patients and their families.
"Our long-term plan is to provide a permanent integrated clinical, research and teaching clinic for patients with autism spectrum disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan," said Jean Frazier, MD, the Robert M. and Shirley S. Siff Chair in Autism, professor of psychiatry and pediatrics, and medical director of CANDO. "Launching the CANDO clinic was the first step."
