Jill Harris is the Director of Program Development at Children’s Specialized Hospital in NJ where I also direct autism services. Children’s is the largest pediatric medical rehabilitation system in the US. Children’s is also one of the largest providers of autism services in NJ.
I am a licensed psychologist and also a school psychologist. I have been involved in autism research related to improving access to early diagnosis for underserved communities. Clinically, I oversee autism services which include diagnostic services, ABA, social skills groups and other therapies, developmental screening and a wide variety of community outreach programs. I also am the parent of an adult son with autism.
