Autism Identification & Management Webinar

July 22, 2009

The American Academy of Pediatrics hosted a free webinar on Autism Identification and Management to provide child health professionals with information and practical strategies for providing a medical home to children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The webinar was led by nationally recognized experts with the goal of describing the recommendations put forth in the two AAP Clinical Reports regarding identification and management of ASDs, providing insights on how to utilize the AAP Screening Algorithm in practice, and recommendations for implementing pieces of the AAP Autism Toolkit.

Support for this project is provided by the CDC National Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities through a joint public/private partnership 
between CDC and AAP.
