Autism Essentials: Identify, Evaluate, Support

Developed in partnership with the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (SDBP), the training equips you with practical tools, clinical frameworks, and national standards of care to better support autistic patients and their families — from early identification and medical evaluation through ongoing, individualized care. You’ll leave with:

• Standardized screening tools and clinical approaches for identifying when autism evaluation is indicated across developmental levels
• Individualized management frameworks for autism and co-occurring conditions that integrate therapeutic, pharmacological, and behavioral strategies
• Practical tools for addressing daily living challenges such as sleep, eating, and toileting
• Approaches for interpreting diagnostic reports and helping families advocate for supports
• Autism-friendly workflow and billing strategies you can put into practice right away.

After the training, you’ll be more confident caring for autistic youth — and better equipped to partner with their families.

This course has two components:

• A full-day interactive workshop focused on building skills and confidence in providing neuro-affirming ongoing care to autistic youth.
• Four case-based group learning calls over two months in which participants present cases from their practice to solidify their learning and put it into practice. Each call lasts one hour.
