Course DescriptionWith the increasing prevalence of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, there is a growing need to ensure functional outcomes translate into their environment. Such provision of services requires time to warrant the intensive therapeutic services for the child are justified. Through this session, you will have the opportunity to learn the latest evidence‐supported intervention approaches and assessment methods to support and document therapy services for children with ASD.
Learning Objectives1. Examine various assessment tools to inform, guide, and validate your plan of care.
2. Quantify skilled observations to effectively justify your services to third‐party payors.
3. Appraise existing methods of assessment and daily documentation practices to inform your plan of care.
Session Outline1) Appraise current methods of assessments: Strengths and weaknesses
2) Overview of various assessment tools: Clinical utility and research
3) Further quantify intervention to justify the small changes
4) Hands‐on experiences: Rotation
Case Activity
Outpatient Pediatric ClinicJAMES
James is an OT who works in a busy freestanding outpatient clinic uses only naturalistic observations using levels of assistance to quantify the clients’ functional abilities (i.e. Ind, Min A, Mod A, etc.), and occasional use of parent questionnaires.
James has a difficult time managing his time and will often document at the end of the week. Unfortunately, his manager has to provide specific direction to ensure documentation is adequate for reimbursement.
MONICA
Monica is an OT who works in the same busy freestanding outpatient clinic utilizes various methods to complete her clients’ evaluations. She uses assessment tools and screeners, structured interviews with the parent, and naturalistic observations of performance.
Monica also takes it upon herself to serve a local university as a fieldwork educator. She manages her time well with frequent notes and continual documentation system that includes collecting data during each treatment session.
