Have you ever worked with a child or adolescent and noticed that treatment wasn’t progressing as expected? Or perhaps you noticed a developmental concern, and you suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but didn’t know what to do next?
Join Rebecca Sachs, PhD, ABPP, and Tamara Rosen, PhD, and learn how to skillfully use specific screening and assessment-based tools and strategies for:
When ASD is suspected and you feel stuck
Understanding and treating challenging behaviors that may be impacting treatment
Confidently communicating ASD concerns to other professionals and parents
Making effective and appropriate referral
Incorporating screening and assessment results into tailored interventions
By incorporating this knowledge and using skills that you already have, you will be able to support your client’s underdeveloped areas while also harnessing their strengths!
