[email protected]Minds and Hearts is a unique clinic specialising in Asperger’s Syndrome and autism. Minds & Hearts was conceived to meet the enormous need for specialist services for people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Knowledge and understanding about ASD is expanding. However, it is often difficult to find a specialist who is sensitive to the unique needs of the person with ASD. The process of finding help can be exhausting. Minds & Hearts was designed to provide specialised knowledge and assistance from a multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals.
Professor Tony Attwood is a resident consultant at Minds and Hearts. Tony is a World expert who has worked tirelessly to increase understanding and knowledge in autism and Asperger’s Syndrome.
In 2006
Keely Harper-Hill and Dr Isabelle Henault will join our team in 2006. Keely is a speech pathologist and specialist in autism. She will join us from Heathermount, a specialist centre for autism in London, UK.
Dr Isabelle Henault is a sexologist and clinical psychologist who specialises in Asperger’s Syndrome. She has recently published her first book, “Asperger’s Syndrome and Sexuality.”
