ForwardWorkshop for Abbreviated Autism Diagnostic Evaluations for Young Children
Overview
To provide better, safer patient care. CARS-2 is a feasible instrument for validating a diagnostic impression of autism in some cases. This workshop will provide an overview of the CARS-2System including parent reporting and clinician rating tools (CARS-2 QPC, CARS-2 ST, CARS-2 HF), with a focus on the CARS-2 ST. Decision-making around when to use the CARS-2 ST will be discussed, as well as frameworks for scoring. A suggested protocol for autism assessment that is aligned with the CARS-2 ST will be reviewed with video clip demonstrations of tasks (BearACCESS Protocol for CARS-2 ST). Participants will be provided an opportunity to practice learning by scoring a video-based novel administration of the BearACCESS protocol with guided discussion of scoring. Finally, clinical decision making will be reviewed, which specifies the need to integrate all diagnostic information in clinical conceptualization and treatment planning
Target Audience
- Nurse Practitioners
- Pharmacists
- Physicians
- Psychologists
Learning Objectives
- Describe the evaluation triage framework, which guides the provider in determining when evaluation is required and use of the CARS-2 ST is appropriate to quantify autism traits.
- Demonstrate understanding of the major domains of autism traits using a suggested schedule of tasks that align with CARS-2 ST items (BearACCESS Assessment Protocol).
- Demonstrate understanding of clinical decision making involved in scoring the CARS-2 ST and utilizing all diagnostic information in clinical conceptualization and treatment planning.
