Event Description

The 2026 Child & Adolescent Mental Health Update Conference will focus on childhood autism. Children can be diagnosed with earlier than ever before. Studies of young children with autism have identified risk factors as well as possible interventions to improve outcomes. Universal autism screening leads to earlier identification of autism by an average of 2 years. However, the success of screening efforts relies not only on consistent screening at critical points in time but also on (a) healthcare providers’ placement of appropriate referrals and (b) families’ completion of those referrals.
