Creating & Communicating Effective ASD-focused Treatment Recommendations for Individuals with Autism Who Engage in Harmful Sexual Behavior
Saturday 9:00am – 10:30am EST – 1.5 CEU Awarded
Abstract:
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who commit sexual offenses present unique treatment needs often not adequately addressed in treatment recommendations, community-based programs, or incarceration. Using a combination of traditional dynamic risk assessment and psychometric testing, core ASD deficits can be identified and tied to appropriate recommendations for intervention and prevention. Targeted intervention strategy development and how to locate appropriate ancillary services within your community to address these skill deficits will be reviewed using case examples. Best practices for integrating and effectively communicating these unique treatment needs to the judicial system and/or treatment providers will be reviewed.
Learning Goals:
1) Participants will be able to describe how several traditional dynamic risk factors relate to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
2) Participants will be able to list other psychometric testing which can assist in identifying additional risk factors and unique treatment needs for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
3) Participants will summarize best practices for integrating the unique treatment needs of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) into a treatment program for those who have committed sexual offenses.
4) Participants will list evidence-based, targeted interventions and supports for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who commit sexual offenses.
5) Participants will describe several methods of seeking qualified providers within geographical regions to provide targeted interventions and supports for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
6) Participants will summarize best practices for identifying and presenting treatment needs/recommendations to the courts or treatment providers for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
