Interprofessional Study of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Neurodevelopmental (ND) Disabilities 1 &2

A SC LEND Educational Program involving collaboration between:

Medical University of South Carolina

University of South Carolina

Greenville Hospital Systems

Course Overview

Interprofessional Study of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Neurodevelopmental (ND) Disabilities offers students

the opportunity to gain leadership skills in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities. The course

promotes an interprofessional approach to ASD and ND, with emphasis on the professions of pediatrics, psychology,

speech pathology, social work, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, pediatric dentistry, psychiatry,

neurology, genetics, special education, and others learning and working together. The course content is based on

recommendations made by the Association of University Centers on Disabilities’ (AUCD) Interprofessional Training Guide

(National Training Directors Council, 2001), and the Core Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Leadership competencies

(

http://leadership.mchtraining.net/

). This course focuses on both clinical and leadership topics related to disorders that

first manifest in childhood. Clinical topics include autism, ADHD, high risk infants, acquired brain injury and various

therapeutic interventions. Leadership topics educate students regarding systems of care such as health care financing,

disability law, special education, and family centered care. The course is offered on-line, and lectures may be viewed by

students on their own time via the on-line learning management system Moodle.

Forum Activity

During each 2-week module, a discussion question is placed in the forum in Moodle. Students must respond to each

question, and must respond to at least two other student’s responses by the end of the 2 week module. While forum

responding can occur at any time during the module, the discussions are best if each member makes at least one post

during the first week of the module. The forums are a very important part of the Interprofessional training portion of

this course, and frequent and active discussions are encouraged. Discussions may be lively, but comments should be

professional and respectful. Two faculty members from diverse disciplines are assigned to participate in each forum.

Problem Based Learning Activities

During each module, students complete a Problem Based Learning (PBL) activity. The PBL activities are completed in

small groups of 4-6 students each. Each group contains learners of various experience levels. The goal of the PBL activity

is to watch a case unfold from the point of presenting concern and ending with the expert opinion from an SC LEND

Faculty member. Students are expected to come up with a differential diagnosis (hypothesis) and what additional

information is needed to confirm diagnosis. Once the casebook is posted, students are then required to discuss as a

group their hypotheses and come up with individual case formulation (submitted individually as a journal entry).

Students are then provided an expert opinion from the SC LEND faculty member. Evaluation is based on participation in

the group discussion.

Modules

This course is divided into eight two-week modules. Each module covers a clinical topic and a leadership topic. During

each module, students watch 2 lectures, participate in 1 Forum Discussion, and participate in 1 Problem Based Learning

activity. There are no “final exams” or cumulative tests.
