Autism support for Hooksett families
Families with children at Cawley Middle School and Hooksett's elementary schools often ask us for help with anxiety, focus, sleep or school planning. A first visit by video from home can be easier for autistic children and adults who find new places tiring.

Care for the Hooksett community
Hooksett sits between Manchester and Concord, so many residents spend a good part of the day on I-93 or Route 3. Families with children in Hooksett schools often look for help with anxiety and focus, and video visits fit well around commuting.
What a psychiatrist adds
Many autistic people already have therapists, teachers or support staff. A psychiatrist identifies co-occurring conditions, weighs whether medication could help specific symptoms, and checks for medical issues behind changes in behavior or sleep.
