Yes, if your child has high functioning verbal skills and a fair amount of social interaction. If your child has low verbal skills and limited social interaction usually an ABA (Applied Behavioral Analyst) therapist would be much more likely to help.
Yes. They are often the professionals coordinating care
Most autism centers have a team approach which may include psychologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and pediatricians.
