- Autism Screening – 9 AM – 12 PM
- Autism Interventions: Current Treatment Options and Resources - 1 PM to 4 PM
Riley Outpatient Conference Center Room A-B

Autism Interventions: Current Treatment Options and Resources: Awareness of and interest in Autism Spectrum disorders has led to an overwhelming amount of information about treatment and resources in support of children with this diagnosis. Join us for an overview of current research based treatment options and available resources. Included will be a panel discussion with Indianapolis area providers to the autism community.


Autism Screening: Over the past decade, no pediatric developmental diagnosis has been more discussed and studied than autism. Given the proven positive impact of early intervention services on a child with autism's lifelong social and communication skills, having and knowing how to use the screening tools for the initial signs of autism are crucial.

Being able to quickly, but accurately, assess for the early delays, which could indicate a pervasive developmental disorder, and having the resources to provide families with the proper needed interventions and services will be the topics covered.

Registration Fees: $50 for each session or $80 for both.

Parking in the adjacent Riley Outpatient Garage will be validated for participants.

Certificates of completion for three contact hours for each session will be provided to those who complete the workshop.



Registration is now open. Each training session has 60 spaces available.
Please Contact Rylin Rodgers ryrodger@iupui.edu with any questions.
