Autism 209: Managing Autism

Autism 209: Managing Autism
October 17, 2019
Instructor: Karen Sporn, ARNP

Our goal as nurse practitioners is to support your child’s health and well-being, by being a partner with you in their autism care planning. In this presentation a panel will discuss what our role as nurse practitioners entails, including developmental monitoring; autism-related health assessment and treatment recommendations; medication consultation and management; and coordination of care and services.

Autism 200 is a series of 90-minute classes for parents and caregivers of children with autism who wish to better understand autism spectrum disorder. Faculty from Seattle Children’s and the University of Washington and community providers teach the classes. Each class includes time for questions. Read the series flyer (PDF).

Classes are held on most third Thursdays of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Pacific time.
