Autism Spectrum Disorder Conference, 17th Annual
Our increased ability to identify and diagnose children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at ever earlier ages provides us with both an opportunity and a challenge. The last 20 years of research have demonstrated both methods for identifying ASD in even younger children, and also methods for improving outcomes of those children through specific early intervention practices. These advances now allow us the opportunity to begin intervention much earlier in life. Our challenge, however, is to design and adapt our interventions to very young children in order to achieve optimal outcomes.
Join Dr. Meaghan Parladé and Ms. Cecilia Alvarez-Tabio as they discuss Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions for Children with ASD.
