Autism and Trauma: The Impact on Assessment and Intervention

Recorded Webinar

Presented by Maude Le Roux, OTR/L, SIPT, ADHD-RSP

Much research exists in the world of trauma as well as research in autism, but it is fairly recent that researchers have been investigating how these two worlds converge. When trauma occurs in individuals with an autism diagnosis, the experience is different, and adaptations are necessary for both assessment and intervention.
