autism spectrum disorders. Students will also be informed about the most
recent assessment and treatment methods available.
Inhoud vak
Autism Spectrum Disorders are complex neurobiological disorders thatlast throughout an individual’s lifetime. With a prevalence of 1 in 68,
they are more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined.
However, few disorders seem more confusing than autism. Common
stereotypes, of the withdrawn, mute child with repetitive activities, do
no justice to the wide variety of individuals with an autism spectrum
diagnosis. To date, there is no single treatment protocol for all
children with autism spectrum disorders. More importantly, the
information about the effectiveness of treatments is very limited. While
the main focus will be on autism, several other disorders with
overlapping problem domains will also be discussed.
