Ethical Considerations in Autism Related Services: Operating at the Highest Level Possible

---

Listening to feedback from autistics that have experienced services and supports that were intended to help yet may have done harm, is critical.

Join Drs. Kathleen Platzman and Karen Levine guide you through the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) toolkit—developed by autistic self-advocates—which provides the field feedback on what is ethical and what is not. Using the ASANs toolkit as a guide, we’ll look at: 

• Many common practices within autism related services and supports that have serious ethical concerns 
• Way to provide ethical services to ensure we are operating at the highest ethical level possible, looking through the lens of autistic self-advocates 

This session is in part based on the ASAN toolkit entitled, "For Whose Benefit: Evidence, Ethics, and Effectiveness of Autism Interventions".
