Given the challenges of caring for adults with autism, many physicians and clinicians find themselves underprepared for the complexity of diagnoses, the diversity of presentations, and the coordination of care. The Clinical Care for Autistic Adults course, is led by nationally recognized experts, with extensive expertise caring for adults with autism.
If you provide care for—or are preparing to welcome patients with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) into your practice, this course will prove invaluable. It will inform and inspire you, and you will be empowered to provide personalized care for people with autism and their families.
We gratefully acknowledge the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation for their generous grant support of this educational activity.
Course Goals:
- Recognize the range of needs that ASD presents across spectrum and age.
- Examine the gaps that exist for support of adult patients with ASD.
- Identify key players in the ongoing support of patients with ASD from childhood through adulthood.
- Apply best practices and strategies to better support patients during adult primary and specialist visits, screenings, and medical procedures.
- Develop and utilize communication protocols to increase the effectiveness of transitions of care.
