The speakers skillfully use a layering system to guide participants to a deep understanding of the complexities of autism spectrum disorder and pervasive developmental disorders in the adolescent, adult and elderly populations. The inter-relationships between aging, sensory integrative, communication, and behavioral problems seen in these individuals will be explored.
Sensory modulation, tactile discrimination and motor planning will be discussed in-depth. Videos and case presentations will be used to help participants identify and prioritize the underlying and primary problem and identify intervention strategies for a variety of settings.
Through a variety of learning activities, participants will analyze why people behave the way they do, sort out sensory based problems from other causes, and design intervention strategies to improve the functional performance needed for employment, occupation, and behavioral management in the adolescent and adult with ASD.
