This module will provide an overview of the global need for autism education and treatment services as well as of the barriers to accessing and providing them. A brief, parent-mediated intervention will be discussed, with implications for improving services both locally and globally. This should allow for the development of a greater appreciation for the need to enhance understanding of the autism diagnosis and treatment options.
