Listen to Dr. Bradley Schlaggar, president and CEO of Kennedy Krieger Institute, and a panel of mental health and autism experts as they discuss how most children who are diagnosed with autism have one or more mental health conditions. Early diagnosis of mental health conditions is crucial in children with autism as the longer a child experiences a mental health condition, the more complex it is to treat. The panel also talks about warning signs, exciting new research and evolving conditions.
The panelists are:
- Dr. Roma Vasa, director of psychiatric services at Kennedy Krieger’s Center for Autism Services, Science and Innovation (CASSI™)
- Dr. Luke Kalb, assistant professor at CASSI and Kennedy Krieger’s Neuropsychology Department
- Dr. Amy Keefer, clinical psychologist at CASSI
- Dr. Daniel Hoover, clinical child and adolescent psychologist at Kennedy Krieger’s Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress
