The Autism Spectrum Disorders Center, housed within Kaiser's medical offices in Rancho Cordova, will offer a full range of services for the estimated 1,200 pediatric Kaiser members diagnosed with autism.

The center, modeled after a similar Kaiser center in San Jose, will include a team of health professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, neurologists, social workers and speech therapists.
