Your safety is our top priority
We’re taking every precaution to protect our patients, families and staff
What is Marcus Autism Center's safety plan?
Safety Measures at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Facilities
At Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, we’re working hard to protect our patients, families and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. Safety is our top priority and we’ve put extra precautions in place to keep your family safe.
We have taken a number of important steps to make Marcus Autism Center as safe as possible. We ask you to join us in ensuring safety for all patients, visitors and staff by adhering to the following four safety measures:
- All Children’s facilities will require a wellness screening for patients and visitors for signs of illness. Before entering our facility, everyone will have their temperature checked and be asked questions about their symptoms, including cough, fever higher than 100°F, shortness of breath, sore throat, diarrhea, vomiting, congestion and muscle aches. Any visitor showing signs of illness will not be allowed into our facility.
- Visitor restrictions are in place. Only two caregivers may accompany a child into the facility. If you have other children, make arrangements for them to stay home.
- Everyone visiting our facility is required to wear a mask from home to your child’s scheduled appointment. Patients and visitors are also required to wear a mask at all times during their visit. Whether you are in one of our waiting areas, patient rooms, restrooms, or hallways a mask must be worn. If you do not have a mask, we will give you one before entering our facility.
- We encourage the practice of social distancing, which means maintaining a distance of 6 feet from other patients and visitors. When you arrive for your visit, you may notice signage, including special floor decals, to help make sure everyone stands six feet apart in high traffic areas. You may also notice that seating has been rearranged in our waiting areas in order to follow social distancing guidelines.
COVID-19 Family Resource Guide
Marcus Autism Center has developed a resource guide to help support you through this ever-changing situation. Our hope is that this guide is informative and useful for the unique needs of all families. It includes:
- Information about COVID-19 and individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Educational resources
- Social stories and visual supports
- Care coordination resources
Rest assured that Marcus Autism Center is making every effort to ensure our facilities are safe for you and your child. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
