Autism

Autism rates continue to rise. The latest CDC reports estimate that 1 in 88 US children and teens has been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). And it means that every pediatric care provider will confront autism-related challenges more often.

The newly updated, extensively revised Autism: Caring for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Resource Toolkit for Clinicians, 2nd Edition, has been developed to assist clinicians in the recognition, diagnosis, and management of children with ASDs across the life span. The first revision of this popular resource in 5 years, it delivers a rich array of proven problem-solvers on a single, value-priced CD-ROM. All content has been extensively reviewed by American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) committees, councils, and sections, and parents of children and youth with ASDs.

Look here for current AAP autism clinical reports and policy statements and expert ASD screening, surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, and referral guidelines. And dozens of family handouts in English and Spanish are included. Use this exclusive toolkit to efficiently implement the recommendations in the latest AAP clinical reports and policy statements, bring state-of-the-art ASD screening, surveillance, and management to your practice, improve quality of life for children and parents through early detection and timely intervention, be sure you don’t miss key red flags of developmental disorders, and much more.
