Identification, Evaluation, and Management of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Identification, Evaluation, and Management of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

For the first time in 12 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a report that includes updated clinical recommendations on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The 71-page report provides updates on the increasing number of children with ASD, as well as expanded knowledge on risk factors, co-occurring medical and behavioral conditions, genetic contributions, and the body of research on evidence-based interventions.

This updated document aims to provide primary care providers with a summary of current information in a single report that will help guide them in providing a medical home for the patient with ASD. The document is searchable by topic and includes a glossary and a section on working with families. Read more about and access the report here.

The Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities (OCECD) is the Parent Training and Information Center for the state. It offers training sessions and workshops on a variety of topics of interest to parents of children with disabilities and to the professionals who serve them. OCECD training sessions provide parents with the information they need to become informed members of their child's Individual Education Planning Team (IEP). OCECD trainings promote parent-professional collaboration and ongoing partnership to support educational and service planning. In addition, OCECD offers training to support parents facing the challenges of disability in their day-to-day lives.

Request for Comments | Proposed Revisions to SPP/APR Data Collection

The Department of Education (ED) is soliciting comments on proposed revisions to the data collected via the State Performance Plan (SPP) and the Annual Performance Report (APR). Each state must file the SPP/APR with the Department for both Parts B and C of IDEA. These are the parts of the law that authorize special education and related services for children with disabilities (Part B) and early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities (Part C). Among other changes, the Department is proposing to establish a new 6-year SPP cycle (FFY 2020 through FFY 2025). Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before April 20, 2020. Read more about this request for comment and connect with what's proposed for Parts B and C here.
