Sign up to be notified of new teleseminars daily! |
| Description: | The DSM-5® recognizes the social communication deficits associated with ASD. Keep these deficits at bay with early diagnosis and intervention. Full Description: Cases of autistic and social communication disorders are increasing dramatically, to the extent that some researchers are describing the trend as an “epidemic.” Mental health professionals and educators see more children and adolescents with these disorders than ever before in history. Neuroscientists have demonstrated that early irregularities in brain growth lead to developmental disorders. Accurate diagnosis is essential to treatment planning and requires an up-to-date knowledge of disorders and clear differential diagnostic skill. The need for early diagnosis and appropriate intervention is urgent. Multiple interventions are currently available and a wide range of treatment plans can be developed. Participants will learn how to facilitate communication, improve social and pragmatic language, teach children with attention and working memory weakness, explore compensatory strategies for academic deficits, and evaluate other research-based programs.
