Product Description:

This course will explore and provide knowledge from a variety of experts about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), evidence of their causes, and a range of treatment interventions. It will examine the practice and policy roles of social workers with persons with ASD and their families in a variety of settings such as schools, hospitals and clinics. The rapid increase in the diagnosis of ASD has given rise to a need to distinguish between facts and misinformation. Experts with current knowledge of the disorders, family members living with the challenges of ASD and professionals working with patients and families will be participating as faculty.
