Part 2: Components of a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for autism spectrum disorders
Abstract:
Part two in this series will discuss the American Academy of Pediatrics suggestions for the components of a comprehensive autism assessment. A better understanding about the critical components of a comprehensive assessment for ASD can help the PCP be an informed consumer of the information provided in report(s) from the referral source. This information also helps the PCP have a better understanding of what additional evaluations might be needed to provide a complete clinical picture of the child. This knowledge will guide the PCP in translating these evaluation components into a meaningful treatment plan for the child.
