Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) impact multiple areas of functioning, demanding a multidisciplinary approach to detection and diagnosis. With the prevalence of ASD on the rise, clinicians need to learn about the nature and course of ASD, the numerous co-occurring and diagnostic differentials, and the many disparities that result in misdiagnoses. This webinar helps practitioners identify, assess, and diagnose symptoms of ASD from infancy through adulthood using a comprehensive developmental approach to evaluation, focusing standards of best practice in the field. Translating assessment results into recommendations for treatment and intervention are also discussed.   Original webinar date: March 15, 2024. CC.
