IDHD/TAP Webinar: Early Detection, There is Nothing to Fear

Thursday, June 13, 2019

This presentation will focus on the importance of developmental screening of young children. There is an understandable fear in pointing out developmental delays in infants and toddlers. The responsibility equally lies with the caregiver and the healthcare provider to address any delays.

Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the current trends in age at diagnosis and overall prevalence of young children with Autism in the US.

2. Become comfortable with the DSM-V Criteria of Autism Spectrum Disorder and applying it to developmental screening and early detection.

3. Understand the advantages of early detection and early access to services for children with Autism.
