About 1 in 59 children nationally have been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a 15 percent increase in prevalence from 2016. Pediatric professionals are uniquely positioned to identify children who may be at risk for or have ASD, thereby maximizing the potential of critical early intervention services.
This training helps practices screen for and identify children with ASD, talk with families about ASD concerns, connect children to diagnostic and intervention services, and use billing codes for all screenings and follow-up office visits. Strategies for addressing health equity and delivering culturally sensitive care are also included.
