About the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities (CADD)
CADD is nationally recognized for having one of the most comprehensive continua of care in the country for children to young adults with autism spectrum disorder/developmental disability who are struggling with their mental health. Across CADD services, Bradley Hospital’s team of experts treat hundreds of patients with co-occurring mental health challenges, often working with an individual and their family for years.
Our model of care emphasizes family involvement and helping individuals remain connected to their communities by offering a variety of treatment options across hospital and community settings.
Services for Children, Teens and Their Families
Our programs are closely affiliated with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
