Course 1 of 3: The Early Detection of Autism in Children and Recommendations for Therapy
Detecting Autism at an Early Age
Observe the early warning signs of autism by comparing behaviors of typically developing children with those of children on the autism spectrum.
About the course
This video highlights early warning signs of autism spectrum disorders as they present in children 36 months of age and younger. Examples of symptoms are shown from the three domains of autism: (1) language and communication, (2) reciprocal social interaction and (3) repetitive and restricted behaviors. In this course, expert narration and video footage work in tandem to describe the core deficits in children with autism spectrum disorders and show differences between typically developing children and children on the autism spectrum.
2 Hours
