Putting the Pieces Together: Ensuring a Comprehensive Autism Evaluation - 33596
Autism (AU) is a neurodevelopmental impairment defined by individual brain style differences across one’s language/communication, social-emotional responses, interests, and sensory experiences. A person’s unique behavioral profile can interfere with their participation in home, educational, and community settings. Yet, females are under-identified with Autism, and certain populations are over-identified. This presentation reviews relevant state standards for conducting special education evaluations, particularly for ASD. Discussions include eligibility considerations, multi-disciplinary tools for fulfilling assessment requirements, and educational planning outcomes will be discussed.
This session is aligned with the Child Find and Evaluation components of the TEA-required self-assessment.
