An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

Presented by: Dr. Rob Nicolson, Dr. Craig Ross, Patty Petersen BCBA, Joan Gardiner SLP, Alison Gehl OT, Laurie Arnold MSW RSW

The agenda for this full-day workshop intends to provide a holistic and integrated understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  Through a combination of theory-based and practical discussion, aspects of ASD will be presented from multiple clinical perspectives.  Throughout the day, illustrative case examples and demonstrations will be used to foster understanding and to help link theory to everyday situations.  The day will conclude with a panel discussion that considers the community-based approaches and resources that are best suited to the needs of children and adolescents with ASD.

At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to:
  1. Recall diagnostic criteria and diagnostic process for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  2. Explain a holistic and integrated understanding of intervention for ASD
  3. Identify community based approaches and list resources.

About CPRI's Interdisciplinary Autism Service:

IAS works with children/youth (up to age 18) with a current or suspected diagnosis of ASD, their families and service providers.  Those who are referred have complex profiles of behaviour and symptoms  that make diagnostic assessment and/or intervention challenging (e.g., co-occurring mental health, developmental or medical concerns).  The team includes clinicians from an array of disciplines, including psychiatry, pediatrics, psychology, social work, speech and language, occupational therapy, psychometry, behaviour analysis (BCBA), and behaviour consultation (CYW); these clinicians work together to understand children/youth’s needs and to develop intervention recommendations when existing community supports and approaches have not led to the desired outcomes.
