Diagnosis Delayed (feat. Dr. Jeff Selman) S4E4

Published: Feb. 26, 2021, noon

b'My guest today is Dr. Jeff Selman. He\\u2019s VP of Clinical Services over at First Children Services. He\\u2019s here to talk about how COVID is creating additional delays in kids getting evaluated for autism. This is a huge problem because we know that early intervention is absolutely vital for kids with autism and delays interfere with that. We talk about what is happening and the impact it\\u2019s having on kids. We also discuss remote learning and some challenges that we\\u2019re not talking about as we prepare to return to in person learning.\\nThere\\u2019s lots to learn here and I\\u2019d love to get your feedback.
