What This Session Covers
People with profound autism are routinely excluded from clinical studies. The research that does attempt to include this population is inconsistent in how it defines them, creating a knowledge gap that compounds into exclusion from the community and medical programs they need most.
Through a rigorous consensus process, a new research definition for profound autism has been established. This session unpacks what that definition means in practice, and what behavior analysts need to know to serve this population safely and effectively.
What You'll Learn
- The research definition of profound autism and why it matters for clinical practice
- Three behavior analytic approaches to support people with profound autism
- The role of the multidisciplinary team in building comprehensive, coordinated care
