CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS: AN EI PROVIDER’S ROLE IN DIAGNOSING AUTISM

The autism diagnostic process often begins informally through discussions with Early Intervention therapists. Early Intervention providers are in a unique position to have conversations about autism symptoms because language is often one of the first concerns of parents of children with autism. This presentation provided therapists with strategies about having these conversations with families.
