Description

Comprehensive, high-quality, family-centered care is imperative for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and their families. However, there is a widening gap between the demand for this level of care and the capacity of expertly trained physicians. This session will address how engaging the Primary Care Physician community can bridge the gap by building capacity to ensure high-quality ongoing care for individuals with autism within their existing community medical settings.
