The Shanghai team, supported by LIH Healthcare Chief Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician Dr. Raymond Tervo, offered a daylong training on assessment and intervention for autism through different pathways. Speakers at the November 18 event included pediatricians, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and behavioral therapists. The ‘pop up’ event was attended by approximately 60 invited guests. Dr. Tervo opened the day’s discussions with an introduction to current theory and practice in the area of autism. A number of the clinicians from our team spoke on autism-related topics, interventions and clinical experience. We were delighted to see so many familiar and new faces from the educational and medical communities of Shanghai, Suzhou, and Nanjing. Watch out for details of our next “pop –up” conference in the near future or contact Heidi Gao for more information.
