Putting the Pieces Together: Ensuring a Comprehensive Autism Spectrum Disorder Evaluation

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) 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. Presented By: Stephanie Held Learning objectives: Reflect on understanding of state special education evaluation requirements, as well as other assessment-based practical, legal, and ethical considerations Acquire knowledge and skills in the overall process for assessing autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including selection of instruments, addressing classification issues, and integrating data in the full and individual evaluation (FIE) Identify current resources and materials designed to assist in developing recommendations for evidence-based programming and interventions
