FreeMagellan Healthcare webinar, “Navigating autism”
Wednesday, April 7, 2021, 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. ET
Presenter: Yagnesh Vadgama, BCBA, vice president, clinical care services, Magellan Healthcare
About 1 in 54 children in the U.S. has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to estimates from the CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network.[1] As we try to better understand and manage ASD, we find this already complex disorder is further complicated when other mental health conditions or developmental disabilities are present.[2] Legislation, services and provider quality vary across the country with very few standards, leaving caregivers to navigate the maze of care options on their own.
If you missed the live event, check out the recording as Yagnesh Vadgama, BCBA, Magellan’s vice president, clinical care services, shares his knowledge and more than 16 years of experience with ASD and applied behavior analysis, and answers audience questions.
