Many families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are faced with the option of using medicines to help treat their child’s challenging behaviors. This is a tough medical decision and there is no one right answer. Though many children with autism may benefit from medications that ease challenging behaviors, families often struggle with making the decision of whether medication use is right for their child. This is why the Autism Speaks’ Autism Treatment Network (ATN) created the Medication Decision Aid. It includes a family decision aid and answers to frequently asked questions—all designed to help you clarify your values and goals and then talk with your healthcare provider about the options, benefits, and possible downsides of medications. This tool kit can be used at any point in your decision-making process, including the re-evaluation of medications your child is now taking.

What:
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and its National Center for Medical Home Implementation (NCMHI) are hosting a FREE four part webinar series February through May 2013 on how to effectively deliver care through the medical home model. Building on the success of two previous medical home webinar series (2009 and 2011), the NCMHI will provide engaging educational "how to" presentations focused on several important facets of pediatric care delivery, including empowering youth, reducing health disparities, using data to improve quality, and employing best practices in family-centered care. The webinars will feature expert faculty and provide targeted information and tools; they will feature new products from the NCMHI such as updated state profiles in the Medical Home Data Portal, promising practices regarding language access services, and a new family-centered care monograph.
