Dr. Rossignol will discuss the concept of using evidence-based medicine to choose effective treatments for children with autism and ADHD. He will focus on treatments that have proven effectiveness compared to a placebo, including treatments for attention, concentration, hyperactivity, self-stimulatory behavior, irritability, aggression, self-injury, expressive and receptive language, sleep, social interaction, eye contact, toe-walking, coordination, and seizures. This lecture will help parents establish a plan to individualize treatments for their child using proven treatments, in conjunction with the child’s physician.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the biochemical abnormalities implicated in autism
Learn the principles of evidence-based medicine and how to pick treatments using these principles
Review the current medical literature to understand which biomedically-based treatments have sufficient evidence to potentially implement in practice
