George W. Hebert, Ph.D.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): Best Practices for Diagnosis and Treatment

This workshop will provide participants strategies for addressing people suspected of falling on the spectrum of autism. The recent DSM-5 both expands and reduces the eligibility criteria for diagnosis, depending on the conditions. This training activity will utilize a multi-trait, multi-method approach to the assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), consistent with current best practices. Additionally, developmentally appropriate interventions and services will be explored primarily for children and adolescents. Finally, assessment procedures discussed will be consistent with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and eligibility for Louisiana regulations for special education eligibility.
