Learning Objectives:
The objective of this course is to familiarize the learner with research on the nature, identification, and treatment strategies regarding the disorders collectively referred to as the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Pervasive Developmental Disorders. The course is intended to assist clinicians and others with enhancing knowledge of the subject. Since mental healthcare practitioners are more likely than average to encounter someone with Autism or a family with a child with autistic-like presentations, the ability to identify the problem and generate some initial treatment and/or diagnostic strategies is important.
