Brochure for Health Care
Professionals: "Your Next Patient Has
Autism..." (PDF; size=247k) - The Education Subcommittee of the North
Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System (NSLIJHS) Autism Steering Committee has
recently completed work on its first educational initiative. “Your Next Patient
Has Autism...” is a trifold brochure developed for the many health professionals
– nurses, physicians, technicians and others – who provide services for children
on the autism spectrum. It is especially designed for those who only
occasionally treat this population. Physical assessment, diagnostic imaging, and
a variety of other interventions – both invasive and non-invasive – may induce
fear and anxiety in people with autism. Their behavioral responses to such
experiences often interfere with needed care and increase the risk of physical
and/or psychological trauma. “Your Next Patient Has Autism...” provides
caregivers with a brief synopsis of autism together with specific
recommendations for managing the special needs of these patients in the context
of in-patient or out-patient healthcare. Thanks to Beth Kimmel of
ASA-Oakland for suggesting this
resource.
Featured Resource:
The Care Notebook - The Care Notebook and Care Organizer
are tools for families who have children with special health care
needs. Families use Care Notebooks to keep track of important
information about their child's health and care. This makes it easier
to find and share key information with their child's care team.
