Infants and children with developmental disabilities are at risk for late or missed identification of reduced hearing. This problem exists even though many developmental disabilities are known to have a higher risk of reduced hearing than seen for the general population. To address current gaps in care seen for children with developmental disabilities, this presentation will focus on developmentally informed strategies that can be used during a hearing evaluation.

In this webinar, we will present autism diagnostic criteria, including diverse presentations, school-based examples, and a focus on middle/high school youth. We will describe autism from a neurodiversity framework and discuss common misconceptions. We will discuss screening tools that may be helpful in school-based health center settings to determine who may be appropriate for an autism evaluation referral. Finally, we will present next steps and resources for school teams and parents.
