Topic: Approaches to Neurodevelopmental Conditions and Oral Care for Children and Youth - Primarily Focusing on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Presented by: Dr. Clive Friedman, B.D.S. Cert. ped. Dent.
20 % of individuals in Canada have been identified as having a disability. Approximately one in 60 individuals has been identified to be on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The barriers to care for this population are extensive. An individual approach to care based on each person’s unique presentation is highly suggested. This presentation will highlight some of the current concepts of understanding of ASD as well as a process to help practitioner’s integrate individuals with ASD into their practices. The opportunity to work with diversity and impact the quality of life and oral health will be an expected outcome of listening to this presentation.
Objectives
• Identify the clinical characteristics of ASD
• Understand the behavioral challenges in Autism
• Identify options for facilitating behaviour in persons with neurodevelomental conditions
• Introduce the concept of Indvidualized PGSI (Patient Guided Sensory Integration)
