Product Description:

This module will first address the importance of early identification, including the benefits and challenges to families, communities, and society. Then the focus will shift to describing the early characteristics of ASD as described in the DSM-IV and a recommended set of practices that will lead to early identification of ASD. This includes a description of surveillance, screening, and diagnostic assessment practices along with the tools and processes that will assist professionals in communicating with families about their young child?s status relative to ASD. This module will end by providing information about national resources and initiatives committed to early identification for the purpose of follow up and referral to services, resources, and supports.
