Therapists in Lackawanna, NY
Asperger’s syndrome is a mental condition similar to autism but not as severe. Your child may not be able to communicate well with others, avoids eye contact, and does not like any kinds of changes in routine. There are many mental health care experts in Lackawanna who are trained in diagnosing and treating Asperger’s syndrome.
Your child may not enjoy many of the public places in town right now but with therapy, things can change. You and he can go out and enjoy the Woodlawn Beach State Park, Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, and the Lackawanna Recreation Park.
