The Chapel Hill TEACCH Center is hosting a one-day workshop for professionals involved with diagnosis and assessment of children, adolescents and adults perceived to have autism. The workshop will use a case-oriented style covering how the DSM-5 defines Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and how this definition affects diagnoses and assessments. In addition, the workshop will focus on conducting developmental history interviews, using informal assessment techniques and formal instruments, and exploring differential diagnoses. Participants are invited to bring their own case example for the afternoon group discussion. The training includes presentations, group activities and discussions.
