The STAT-MD course was specifically developed for medical providers dedicated to responding to best practice recommendations by the AAP by incorporating autism screening into their practice. Specifically, this one- to two-day training workshop is designed to teach enhanced diagnostic consultation and screening procedures to pediatric medical providers serving young children. The workshop provides training in conducting autism-focused assessments with the children, ages 18-36 months. Emphasis is on incorporating time-sensitive consultation models into community practice.

1. Examine the core features of ASD in young children.
2. After participating in this activity, 80% of leaners who complete the evaluation will self-report increased knowledge in the early identification of ASD through use of enhanced diagnostic consultation and screening procedures in pediatric patients.
3. Identify the core features of ASD in young children. List developmental risk markers for ASD in young children. Identify a framework for initiating community-based services for families of young children with ASD. Score elements of the STATTM that can be used as part of an overall office-based assessment for ASD. Conduct a developmentally sensitive caregiver interview. Synthesize information from a variety of sources to assist differential diagnosis of ASD in young children. Determine likelihood for autism based on case examples of STAT assessment, parent interview, and medical record review. Communicate diagnostic impressions and STAT results to parent(s). Explain how to code for the above services.
