Objectives:
Describe the diverse features of ASD across the “spectrum” based on age, gender, degree of challenge in core symptoms, cognitive function, co-morbidities, functional abilities and potential outcome.
Use observations and relationship-based interactions to identify those infants and toddlers with sensory/motor individual differences and social/emotional functional developmental delays which may require an ASD evaluation and potential referral.
Recognize significant changes in an ASD child’s behavior as symptoms for potential underlying medical/psychiatric co-morbidity, environmental and/or educational changes, and undiagnosed or unmet cognitive challenges.
