“With the appropriate support, any individual has the capacity to become their best self.”
Our History
Started in 2014 as an opportunity to more closely connect the University at Buffalo’s psychiatry department with developing a unique delivery system for autism spectrum care of all cases, Access to Psychiatry Through Intermediate Care (APIC) has evolved since its inception to focus on high priority, complex cases within the ASD world.

Systems optimization in the neuro-behavioral practice – through an optimized and balanced continuum, as well as training and other educational services across multiple channels and audiences. We endeavor to leverage all available and to-be-determined technologies to provide analysis and care beyond the current geographical region and scope, to increase the breadth and depth of service for the most complex neurobehavioral cases across the nation.

We will break down silos to traditional care and generate a complete continuum-of-care that benefits the patients and families using the services.
We will remove redundancies and inefficiencies from the healthcare system – vastly improving service levels and profit margins across the industry.
We will provide a training and development platform for other practitioners and clinicians in the space, providing unique assistance on cases as well as best-practice guidance with what works in neurobehavioral health.
OUR PARTNERS SAY
“This is a novel, innovative program and an opportunity to design a system that will really work in an era of cost containment.”
“Since its inception, APIC has provided vitally important inpatient and mobile psychiatric interventions and case management for children, adolescents, and adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities, particularly for those individuals whose needs require care beyond what is offered in traditional care settings. It has given a level of support for the families of these individuals in many cases to remain in their homes, and receive the love and care they need. ECMC has partnered with APIC to identify individuals that could benefit from APIC’s services. With its primary goal of keeping individuals out of institutional settings, this innovative and ground-breaking program has benefitted hundreds of Western New Yorkers and their families. ECMC is proud to be a partner with Dr. Michael Cummings and his team and it is gratifying to see this unique program, started here in Western New York, extending across New York State.”
