This program is offered for .3 CEUs or 3 hours of continuing professional development (Introductory Level: Professional area). Price: $75.00 This course is designed to offer introductory information about the syndrome of autism. It presents facts as to when autism was first identified in modern medicine, the definition of autism, the medical diagnosis as determined on the DSM IV, and past and current incidence rates. The student will learn to identify autism by main and secondary characteristics as well as how and where a person with autism falls on the author's "Autism Severity Continuum". Students completing this course will be exposed to an ideal assessment for autism. They will be able to identify the team concept of assessment and the speech pathologist's role as part of that team. A variety of assessment instruments is presented as well as the most essential components of the assessment and why. In this course you will also discover what author Kathie Harrington, calls the "Ten Laws of Success for Children and Adults with Autism." These are laws with a purpose; for living life to its fullest. Because autism is a lifelong disorder, the laws were not written as a "cure" They are a guide. As you encounter each of the Ten Laws you will find the reason for it. You will learn specific strategies that support each of the Ten Laws. The speech/language pathologist's knowledge about the syndrome of autism will be multiplied as well as building confidence in working with this special population. |
