Autism and Asperger Syndrome: From Assessment to Treatment
Date: 8/4/2008 - 8/8/2008 Location: Eastham, Massachusetts Location Michael D. Powers, Psy.D. Symposium Description With the incidence of autism, Asperger syndrome and related pervasive developmental disorders now at 1 in 150, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) have become a widespread concern for mental health practitioners, educators, and parents. This symposium synthesizes current research and practice on the etiology, diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and evaluation of ASDs. Participants will learn to distinguish diagnostic issues for various ASDs, and the relationship between core neuropsychological assets and deficits to learning, social, communication, and behavioral issues that may be present from early childhood through young adulthood. The goal of this symposium is to teach mental health practitioners how to provide state-of-the-art care based on current research and understanding to support the range of needs presented by those with ASDs and their families.
