Understanding Co-Occurring Autism and Visual Impairment: Supporting Families & Children with Complex Diagnoses
The co-occurrence of autism and visual impairment (ASD+VI) in children across the United States is a complex disability diagnosis requiring carefully thought-out practices across transdisciplinary stakeholders to provide effective family-informed services. In this presentation, lived experiences of parents of children with ASD+VI will be shared. Dr. Saurym Quezada, an autism and VI researcher, will present outcomes from a national study on parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and visual impairment (VI) recounting their experiences navigating multiple systems to secure a diagnosis and services for co-occurring ASD and VI.
The webinar was recorded and is provided here as a benefit for current CEC-DVIDB members.
