Curated Selection｜ Other Products ｜High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders: Diagnosis, Treatment Issues, and OT Intervention, 2nd Ed

Course Description:
In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released data indicating that 1 out of every 54 children is diagnosed with a disorder on the autism spectrum. These numbers indicate a continuing increase in the number of children being identified with this condition. Along with these numbers, occupational therapy practitioners and other healthcare providers have seen a parallel rise in referrals for assessment and intervention services. It is imperative that occupational therapy practitioners remain up to date and well-informed regarding evidence-based practice for this population. This course will provide practitioners with information on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th edition (DSM-5, 2013), criteria and classification system for autism spectrum disorders, along with information on how occupational therapists can contribute to an informed diagnosis. Appropriate assessments and treatment strategies will be described that are intended to meet the needs of individuals with an autism spectrum disorder, their families, and others who work and interact with them. Although this course is specifically designed to examine the unique and heterogeneous needs of people with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders, much of the information can also be applied to individuals diagnosed on the autism spectrum with any degree of impairment.
