FREE Autism Screenings in April

This April the University of Washington Autism Center in Tacoma will be offering free, walk-in autism screenings to the community. UW will be offering the screenings April 7th and 21st from 9-11AM and April 14th and 28th from 3-5PM. Families will be served on a first-come/first-served basis.

These screenings are part of the UW Autism Center’s mission to increase knowledge and awareness about autism in the general public. Please keep this opportunity in mind when speaking with families concerned that their children are showing signs of an autism spectrum disorder or general developmental delay.
