Learning Outcome Statement
At the conclusion of this learning activity, (at least 75% of) participants will be able to apply the principles of both the social and medical model of autism spectrum disorder in the management of the care of children, adolescents, and young adults.
Overview
The conference will focus on two different perspectives of autism: the medical model and the social model. The medical model views autism as a neurodevelopmental disorder that requires medical treatment and recognition, particularly for those with severe forms of autism. The social model, on the other hand, considers autism to be a natural variation of human ability and identity that should be celebrated and accommodated like any other identity.
The conference will feature representative lectures from each viewpoint, offering insight into their unique approaches and understanding of autism. The lectures will be followed by a moderated panel discussion, where experts will highlight the strengths and limitations of each perspective and explore potential ways to reconcile these differing viewpoints.
The conference aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the two viewpoints and offer a space for constructive dialogue and engagement. Ultimately, the goal is to promote a more nuanced understanding of autism that can benefit both individuals on the spectrum and society as a whole.
