“…Overall, participants reported being somewhat dissatisfied with the care they received in the ED. Initial support has been found for research-based curriculum for clinicians on caring for individuals with ASD in the hospital environment (Carter et al, 2017); however, existing tools tend to focus on children and individuals with ID. The extent to which these efforts target adults with ASD without caregiver input is unknown.…”

This study aimed to describe patterns of emergency department use and police interactions, as well as satisfaction with emergency services of 40 adults with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disability over 12-18 months. Approximately 42.5% of the sample reported visiting the emergency department and 32.5% reported interactions with police during the study period. Presenting concerns for emergency department use and police interactions varied widely, highlighting the heterogeneous needs of this population. On average, participants reported being dissatisfied with care received in the emergency department while police interactions were rated relatively more favourably.

“…Resource review: Existing literature described the process of creating toolkits but lacked evidence of ongoing review and responsiveness to the contemporary needs of clinical educators. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] e task force prioritized creation of a transparent resource review process to establish a mechanism for the addition of new resources and to articulate to contributors and users how each resource was reviewed. e evaluation criteria are broad to capture relevant content that is evidenced based as well as content created by CIs based on their personal clinical teaching experiences.…”

Introduction/Literature Review: Clinical education (CE) experiences are essential components of physical therapist assistant (PTA) and professional physical therapist education requiring qualified clinical instructors (CIs). The 2014 CE Summit recognized the need for CI development. The Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy Academic and Clinical Educators special interest group assembled a task force to address the need for pediatric CI resources. The purposes of this study are to describe the process used to create a pediatric CI Toolkit and describe the results of the task force's work as a mechanism to meet the needs of CIs to facilitate clinical teaching. Participants: Pediatric PTAs and physical therapists (PTs) engaged in physical therapy CE were included in the needs assessment survey. The target population of the survey also represented the intended users of the created CI Toolkit. Method: A task force composed of individuals with diverse pediatric subspecialties, geographic regions, and roles in CE convened to create the CI Toolkit. The task force completed a literature search and online CE resources search to assist with survey development and with guidance in the development of the CI Toolkit. A needs assessment survey was created and deployed to gather information from pediatric PTAs and PTs. The task force developed the structure of the CI Toolkit and collected resources to populate the online tool. Results: An online CI Toolkit was created and contained 160 resources organized into topics, settings, and descriptors. Tools include resources for clinical reasoning, student assignments, general resources, weekly objectives, and CI development. A four-person committee was created to review proposed additions to the CI Toolkit. Discussion and Conclusion: The CI Toolkit is a model for accessible CI professional development for clinical teaching and learning. Health professions educators interested in creating resources for clinical educators will benefit from the lessons learned in the creation of the CI Toolkit.

“…Studies were excluded if they involved the development or consideration of relevant interventions but did not evaluate these (e.g., Carter et al, 2017). In addition, studies were excluded if their focus was not specific to autism and/or it was not possible to extract data pertaining to the outcomes of the intervention for autistic participants or their caregivers (e.g., Drake et al, 2012).…”

Autistic individuals report barriers to accessing and receiving healthcare, and experience increased morbidity and mortality. This systematic review synthesizes 31 research studies evaluating interventions implemented to improve the healthcare experiences and/or access of autistic persons. Interventions were most commonly patient-focused (58.1%), focused on supporting the autistic individual to engage with, tolerate, or anticipate medical procedures, care, or settings. Fewer studies were provider-focused (48.4%) or organization-focused (6.5%). Interventions were typically evaluated using measures of reactions (45.2%) or behavior (48.4%), and outcomes were predominantly positive (80.6%). Further research is imperative and should look to how providers and organizations must change. Future research must be inclusive of the autistic community, must measure what matters, and must offer complete detail on interventions implemented.
