UCLA CART Distinguished Lecture Series-Early Communication In Autism: Moving the Needle on Data-Driven Decision Making in Practice

The UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment (CART) invites you to the next presentation in the CART Distinguished Lecture Series. All are welcome— faculty, clinicians, trainees, students, staff, and community members interested in the latest research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Overview:

Communication challenges remain one of the earliest concerns of parents whose children eventually receive an autism diagnosis. Many existing measures in autism only characterize communication differences but are not designed to monitor improvement over time or support clinical decision making. This presentation will describe a new tool, the Early Communication Indicator for Autism (ECI-A), which is based on an existing norm-referenced, validated measure, and can be easily used within clinical practice.

Speaker: Brian Boyd, Ph.D. (William C. Friday Distinguished Professor in Education; Director, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)

This is a hybrid event, with options to join in-person and virtually.
