Early Intervention for Autism: Assessment & Treatment Strategies for Birth to 5 (Hamre HS 062390)

Course overview

- Does that baby resist following your eye gaze? - Does the child not seem to respond to peek-a-boo nor pat-a-cake? - Does that newborn pull away from mother’s breast or the bottle when the mother looks at the feeding child? - Does this baby push away from the cuddle in the arms of a parent? - Is this baby unusually ‘fussy’ when the diaper or clothes are changed? - Is this baby referred to as a ‘really good baby…never crying or demanding of anything’? - Is the child described as an ‘early talker or reader’…. talking in words and phrases before age one and a half and ‘obsessed with the printed word’ prior to three?.... reaching milestones way ahead of time? Spend a day, sharpening your skills at recognizing the early and subtle signs of autism. To successfully interrupt the development of many ‘autistic coping behaviors’, before they become deeply engrained into the child’s neurological system, you must be able to: - Identify the 6 developmental indicators - Distinguish the 14 red flags - Recognize the most subtle signs - Implement a post diagnosis action plan This recording can help eradicate the delay in obtaining early diagnoses, thereby giving children a greater chance of developing some form of a communication system. Through case examples, videos and lively class discussion, you will walk away with new and improved strategies, so that once a diagnosis is made, treatment can begin immediately.
