In 2016, the University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital partnered to create the AS360 (Autism Support 360) facility, outreach, and digital navigation platform. We are delighted to share the results of this collaborative vision and welcome you to the platform.
From the beginning, our focus was to help autistic people and their families navigate ASD –reducing the time needed to access assessments and great clinical services, and to provide the most current information, training, and wellness services to support each autistic person and their family’s journey In a personal and culturally sensitive way.
