Differential diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains a challenge, even with increased interest, education, awareness, and advocacy. Misdiagnosis, incomplete diagnosis, deferred diagnosis, and delayed diagnosis are common. In this course, Judith Likavec Davis, MS, SLP, examines the key issues in accurately diagnosing ASD and in treating and managing ASD and its comorbidities.
Judith covers the factors that confound accurate diagnosis, the behaviors that help distinguish between disorders, and evaluation methods designed to aid differential diagnosis. You'll also learn practical treatment techniques targeted to specific populations and age groups, along with essential management strategies.
