This CME/CE course provides essential training for healthcare professionals on conducting effective and compassionate clinical encounters with individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The session introduces a structured 5-stage framework to guide practitioners through successful medical appointments, emphasizing patient comfort, effective communication, and high-quality care delivery. Participants will explore common reasons for lack of cooperation during medical visits, learn to conduct thorough assessments, and evaluate the role of medical comorbidities in shaping patient behavior. The course also reviews treatment approaches, including psychopharmacological interventions, highlighting practical challenges and evidence-based strategies. Through interactive case study discussions, learners will develop the skills to analyze and apply appropriate treatment plans, thereby improving the overall care experience and health outcomes for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
