Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence-Based Practices for Health Providers
Tracking # 20-1300965
Course overview
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. These symptoms can vary significantly in their presentation and severity, which is why the term "spectrum" is used (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Understanding ASD is crucial for healthcare providers who interact with individuals on the autism spectrum, including nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and educators. This knowledge aims to deepen understanding of ASD and equip providers with evidence-based practices for assessment, treatment, and support.
