Emergence Health Network (EHN) celebrates April as Autism Awareness Month every year in support of efforts to create a more inclusive community for those with Autism. Autism affects an estimated 1 in 54 children each year and impacts families across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Generally, the disorder is seen as a different way of thinking for these individuals. “Those with autism process life and experiences in the world differently than others, but through efforts such as Autism Awareness Month or what is also referred to as Autism Acceptance Month we promote inclusion and work to assure that everyone affected by the disorder are able to receive services and achieve a good quality of life,” said Dr. Carla Alvarado, EHN Medical Director, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.

“At EHN we know the importance of exceptional care from exceptional people. So, we are proud to have Dr. Carla Alvarado as part of our team of mental health providers. Dr. Alvarado is a highly qualified child/adolescent psychiatrist who also specializes in treating those with autism. She is a great recourse for our community,” said Kristi Daugherty, EHN Chief Executive Officer. “We are fortunate to have her on board.”

Emergence Health Network is also one of only a few providers in El Paso that administers the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) which is a standardized test for identifying kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Counseling/Play Therapy

Emergence Health Network offers counseling services for individuals, couples, families, and groups which includes children ages 3-17 and adults who may need help with their behavioral health needs. Our licensed professionals at EHN are trained in several therapeutic approaches including Play Therapy used to assist children. Queen Espinoza and her EHN counselor utilize the Play Therapy Room at our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Clinic in east El Paso. Queen’s guardian says it’s really helped her niece. “Now Queen knows there is someone there to talk to and who has taught her how to use certain techniques to cope with her feelings. It’s worth speaking to someone and getting help, so your loved one can better understand what is going on with their emotions. Her quality of life is way better now. The Play Therapy Room is so inviting for children, it has made a difference.”

At EHN, counselors offer services at several different EHN locations.

IDD Learning Center

The EHN Day Rehabilitation location is a comprehensive Learning Center which allows EHN to provide services to its IDD clients at one centralized location. Recreational and pre-vocational activities are provided to help individuals such as Carlos Regalado, learn how to be more independent and active in the community.

Carlos’s mom says the staff at EHN has even helped her by giving her the support needed as a parent to assist a child with special needs. “My biggest challenge has been having to change my life to accommodate his, but I was surprised to find out that once he started at the EHN IDD DayHab Learning Center he was more independent than what I thought. I couldn’t imagine not having any services with EHN. Everything that EHN does is very essential for my son’s life.”

The curriculum at the IDD Learning Center also includes life skills lessons to encourage independence. “We have an area at the center where our clients can learn how to do laundry, make their bed, or even make a sandwich. This practice helps them to be self-sufficient, productive residents in our community in light of their diagnosis,” said Kristi Daugherty, CEO Emergence Health Network. “Our clients can also move between classrooms where they are engaged in such courses as math, science, writing, dance and art classes throughout the day.”
