In 2012 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 1 in 88 children were diagnosed with Autism. In March of 2014 that estimate increased to 1 in 68 U.S. children, a 30% increase in two years. As this population grows into adulthood they need to be prepared to live and function independently in the community and to be gainfully employed. If you have met one child with Autism, you have met one child with Autism. Though the core deficits are the same, the kids are all very different. It is imperative thattherapists, clinicians, teachers, parents and administratorsunderstand this population and have the tools and strategies necessary to be proactive and make a difference in the development of each individual child.
This fast-paced, practical and evidence-based workshop will help participants gain a full understanding of the world of Autism. Participants will leave with a framework to guide their problem-solving and decision-making along with intervention strategies for day-to-day success. Extensive use of examples, pictures and anecdotes will prepare you to use the strategies immediately and effectively. From low to high functioning, this seminar will help participants put the pieces together to discourage negative behaviors and to foster growth and skilldevelopment in children of all ages with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Speech-Language Pathologists
