Supporting Children & Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Course overview

This course provides a foundation on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the continuum in which this disorder manifests, specifically focusing on children and adolescents. Due to the complexity and co-morbidity often associated with ASD, techniques and strategies to anticipate, analyze, and provide solutions to address complex behaviors, including creating behavior plans, self-monitoring systems, and visual schedules, is an outcome of this course. In this presentation, Christina Marsack, Ph. D, LMSW will also provide a lens to understand the myriad of challenges faced by parents and opportunities to support them.
