Specialized programs Early Autism Evaluation Hub
This statewide network trains and sponsors primary care clinicians to deliver early diagnoses for autism in children ages 18 to 48 months. In 2023, primary care physicians across multiple health systems in Indiana evaluated approximately 1,026 children for autism. Center for Youth and Adults with Conditions of Childhood Serving youth ages 11 to 22 with complex medical needs, this center trains healthcare teams across Indiana in healthcare processes related to the transition to adulthood. The program annually supports more than 300 youth and young adults with special health needs and complex disabilities. Early Years This multidisciplinary program supports babies with complex medical needs in transitioning from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to outpatient care. Riley general pediatricians partner with specialists to facilitate these programs. Early Years programming includes the Infant Growth and Development Program , supporting more than 150 infants each month who are discharged from the NICU with feeding challenges. The Infant Breathing Program supports the developmental needs of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Pediatric Integrated Behavioral Health Program Launched in 2023 in two Riley primary care practices, this program integrates behavioral health services into pediatric and family medicine practices to address issues such as anxiety, depression and misbehavior in children and adolescents, ages 5 to 17. Using an evidence-based behavioral health intervention called FIRST, counselors at Riley Children’s facilitated 270 visits in 2023 with 114 children referred for care. The program has expanded to 17 additional sites in 2024, with plans to add more practices in 2025. Reach Out & Read Riley Children’s participates in this national program, which gives young children a foundation for success by incorporating books into pediatric care and encouraging families to read aloud.
