Developed through a collaboration between Purdue University Online and the Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) at the Uniformed Services University (USU), this self-paced training helps behavioral health providers distinguish autism spectrum disorder from other conditions in youth. The 90-minute course combines readings, videos, activities, and case studies to support understanding of overlapping symptoms, co-occurring conditions, and differential diagnosis.
As a senior online instructional designer at Purdue University Online, I worked alongside fellow instructional designers, a video producer, and a graphic designer, at Purdue University Online, collaborating with clinical subject matter experts and stakeholders from the Center for Deployment Psychology. The collaboration brings together instructional design, video production, graphic design, project management, and clinical subject matter expertise.
