CEU Course Description 

There are a variety of medical and therapeutic needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).   Interdisciplinary teams can have a significant impact on assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and implementation.  There are different evidence-based treatments that can be developed and implemented for the treatment of an individual’s symptoms of ASD. Evidence-based treatments have been shown to improve deficits within individuals with ASD and in different areas, which include adaptive, cognitive, and social functioning. These treatment options gain information and evidence regarding their effectiveness through their testability and are designed for a specific population or disorder. Additionally, there are various wide-ranging effects of ASD as well as challenges that individuals and their family members face when seeking treatment.  In this course, participants will learn to (1) discuss processes for developing evidence-based treatments for the treatment of an individual’s symptoms of ASD, (2) identify treatment options for individuals diagnosed with ASD, and (3) discuss vocational interventions that can be used to help an individual gain and maintain employment.
