Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Assessment serves as the cornerstone for accurate diagnosis and tailored intervention planning in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By understanding the nuances of assessment, professionals can identify ASD early and ensure timely access to crucial interventions and support services. In this webinar series, our presenters will address the use of empirically supported assessment instruments for screening and diagnosis and how individual and contextual characteristics can affect diagnostic validity. Early screening, teleassessment, and culturally and linguistically responsive identification strategies will also be discussed. These presentations will equip attendees with the knowledge to make informed decisions in clinical and educational settings.
