Autism- The right time for Assessment

David Kuhn, PhD and renonowned autism expert Catherine Lord, PhD will discuss

What are the critical developmental milestones that children should meet before the age of 18 months?

Failure to meet which of these milestones would be a "red flag" for seeking professional help?

What does autism look like in a toddler?

If a parent suspects that their child is experiencing a developmental delay or autistic-like symptoms, who should he/she contact first?

Who is qualified to access autism, and what should a parent expect from the process?

If my child is diagnosed with autism, what types of services will they need?
