This 30 minute panel discussion features researchers and clinicians discussing the adaptation of therapies for individuals with ASD, covering both practical strategies and research findings.
The discussion was recorded at ACT’s 13th Annual Focus on Research Conference which provided a forum for community professionals, researchers, individuals with autism and families to discuss co-occurring mental health conditions and consider solutions to the complex realities facing individuals with autism who rarely have ‘just autism’.
