Fred R. Volkmar, M.D., is one of the most prominent researchers in the field of autism. He is Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Psychology at the Yale University Child Study Center, School of Medicine. Beginning in the 1970's research began to show that structured educational interventions were most effective in producing developmental change in children with autism. Since that time a large body of work has accumulated with a number of evidence based approaches now available. This presentation will summarize this work and the changes in outcome that appear to be associated with it. Needs of adolescents and young adults with autism will be summarized.
