SUMMARY:Webinar: Diagnosing and Supporting People with Autism in Adult and Juvenile Facilities
DESCRIPTION:Autism diagnoses have surged in the general population\, now affecting 1 in 31 children. This trend is mirrored in correctional settings\, where an estimated 18% of incarcerated individuals are diagnosed with autism. Despite its prevalence\, autism often goes unrecognized in these environments\, leading to significant distress and functional challenges for affected individuals\, as well as disruptions within housing units and across facilities. As a disorder\, autism is not well understood among custody staff and some clinicians. This presentation will offer a clinical and neuroscience-based overview of autism to help correctional health professionals and administrators better recognize\, manage\, and support individuals with autism in correctional settings. \n$69 ($59 for CCHPs)\, includes access to the power point presentation\, the webinar recording and CE credit – 1.00 hours for ACCME\, ANCC\, APA\, and CCHP. \nPresenters \nMelissa DeFilippis\, MD is an associate professor of Psychiatry and the Director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division at the University of Texas Medical Branch\, in Galveston\, TX. She directs and supervises the department’s Developmental Disorders clinic\, assessing and treating patients with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. DeFilippis is a past president of the Texas Society of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and currently serves as UTMB’s Chief of Staff. She has multiple peer-reviewed publications on pediatric mood disorders and on autism spectrum disorder in children and adolescents\, and she has been invited to speak both nationally and internationally about treatment challenges in these patient populations. \nDavid Stephens\, PsyD is a Partner and Senior Expert with Falcon\, Inc. He has been the Dean of the School of Professional Psychology at University of the Rockies and is a member of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture. He also makes educational presentations at national and international conferences. Finally\, he is an active member on various corporate projects at both the state and county level\, and has worked on projects as diverse as reducing restrictive housing\, designing jails for large and small metropolitan counties\, and studying the behavioral programs of various state and county jurisdictions. \nRegister Now \n
