Cynthia Green, M.S. CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist at OHSU’s Child Development and Rehabilitation Center, part of the Institute on Development and Disability.

When she sees patients, she works on interdisciplinary teams to assess and diagnose symptoms that match more than one condition.

In the Autism and Child Development clinics, Ms. Green works with school-age children and teens with cognitive-behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders. She focuses on:

• Language disorders
• Autism
• ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
• Other conditions that may be present with autism and ADHD, including communication disorders in the context of:
  • Executive function disorder
  • Learning disabilities
  • Mood disorders
  • Behavior disorders

Her primary experience has been in diagnosing symptoms that match more than one condition, with an emphasis on connecting families with community resources, including transition services for moving into adulthood.

Ms. Green also teaches and trains graduate student clinicians, clinical fellows and those from related health care specialties.

Ms. Green has a passion for looking at how a person can use skills and how to support their strengths and help with their challenges within their environment. Her experiences as a clinical instructor and an associate professor in OHSU’s School of Medicine have provided opportunities to share this perspective with future clinicians.
