Autistic youth have complex medical needs, which often require the care of a multidisciplinary team of providers from varied health care specialties. Lack of awareness and understanding of these needs, coupled with a lack of knowledge regarding the management of these health care issues, can result in disparities in the provision of health care services for autistic youth. Through participation in this conference, medical and health care providers can better understand the complex needs and management of this patient population, which will help to close the gap related to the provision of medical and behavioral services, as well as promote equity in health care for these individuals. The panel of providers includes specialists from the following disciplines: psychology, child neurology, sleep medicine, genetics, gastroenterology, speech-language therapy, behavioral therapy, nutrition, psychiatry, developmental pediatrics and family navigators. Providers will present information related to their specialty to provide background information and will discuss indications for referral to their particular specialty for further evaluation and provision of care.
