Putting the Pieces Together: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Evaluation and Treatment of Children with Autism

Description

This workshop is designed to provide the participant with a general overview of factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, that influence the participation and performance of children with autism. It will also cover the evaluation and treatment of children with autism using a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. Intrinsic factors encompass cognitive, psychological, physiological, motor, and sensory elements, while extrinsic factors include social support, culture, assistive technology, and the physical environment. This workshop explores these factors and how they impact children with autism. Participants will learn about the components of a team approach to meeting the needs of this population.
