Abstract:
In the next decade, professionals in communication sciences and disorders will encounter a wealth of needs, opportunities, and challenges in research and practice related to autism spectrum disorder. What lies ahead will reflect both transformations of and continuities with past perspectives (psychodynamic, biological, and learning theory). Among our largest challenges as individuals and as a discipline will be to determine the most important needs to address and the most productive opportunities to seize. Interprofessional collaboration, community engagement, and partnerships among researchers, practitioners, and community stakeholder are all strategies that can better guide our selection of priorities.
