CME Program Overview: Autism is a heterogeneous condition. Each person is unique and differentially impacted by an array of biomedical, behavioral, and educational variables.  This complexity poses multiple challenges to clinicians with respect to both assessment and treatment.  New developments in science, technology, data tracking and research methods bring fresh perspectives and opportunities to help, treat, learn and research more effectively.
