Nationally-renowned CART faculty (including Drs. Geschwind, Bookheimer, McCracken and Kasari) will provide an overview of the latest scientific findings about etiological factors, core deficits, early screening and diagnosis, and innovative treatment models for children with autism and autism spectrum disorders. A conceptual framework, highlighted by various case scenarios and consideration of community resources, will be presented on how to make a thorough assessment and individual treatment plan. In addition, the complex role of genetics, and the use of brain imaging as state-of-the-art methods for understanding and developing treatments for autism, will be presented. This full-day symposium is for physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, other health professionals, teachers, autism service providers, and any others interested in learning about the latest breakthroughs in research and treatment in autism spectrum disorders.

The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA designates this educational activity for a maximum of 6.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM.

The FDA has issued a concept paper which classifies commercial support of scientific and educational programs as promotional unless it can be affirmed that the program is "truly independent" and free of commercial influence. In addition to independence, the FDA requires that nonpromotional, commercially supported education be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous. The policy further states that all potential conflicts of interest of the CME staff and faculty be fully disclosed to the program's participants. In addition, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education policy now mandates that the provider adequately manages all identified potential conflicts of interest prior to the program. We at UCLA fully endorse the letter and spirit of these concepts.
