Autism support for Peterborough families
Families from Peterborough often come to us when anxiety, sleep, attention or mood problems make school or home life harder for an autistic child, teen or adult. We can coordinate with ConVal Regional High School teams and outside therapists when families want that.
Living in Peterborough
Peterborough is a Monadnock Region town with a lively downtown along the Contoocook River. Because the drive to Salem is over an hour, Peterborough patients usually see us by video, with in-person visits arranged when needed.
How we help
- Psychiatric evaluation when autism is suspected, and referral for formal developmental or neuropsychological testing when needed
- Assessment and treatment of co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD and sleep problems
- Medication, when appropriate, for irritability, anxiety or attention symptoms
- Guidance for parents and coordination with schools, therapists and pediatricians
