April is Autism Awareness Month! Commemorate this special month by taking a look at the services available at Rush for children, adolescents, and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families.

In 2009, Rush’s Autism Resource Center – a comprehensive online and phone referral source – was launched by Natalie Forburger, MA, LPC; Hollie Sobel, PhD; and Louis Kraus, MD. The Autism Resource Center has since expanded and become the Autism Assessment, Research, Treatment and Services (AARTS) Center, which provides comprehensive services, support, and research opportunities for individuals with ASD and their families. For more information, visit the AARTS Center at Rush page :

You can learn more about the opening of this center in the October 2009 issue of Rush’s newsletter, NewsRounds*:
