DHS Research Forum: Early Communication in Autism
Early Communication in Autism: A New Tool to Support Clinical Decision Making
Please join the Department of Health Sciences Office of Research & Scholarship for their March research forum. Brian A. Boyd, PhD, director of the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and William C. Friday Distinguished Professor in the UNC School of Education, will present Early Communication in Autism: A New Tool to Support Clinical Decision Making.
Communication challenges remain one of the earliest concerns of parents whose children eventually receive an autism diagnosis. Many existing measures in autism only characterize communication differences but are not designed to monitor improvement over time or support clinical decision making. This presentation will describe a new tool, the Early Communication Indicator for Autism (ECI-A), which is based on an existing norm-referenced, validated measure and can be easily used within clinical practice.
The hybrid forum will take place in person (MacNider 321, LUNCH provided) and via Zoom. Please register to attend.
