Shared Decision Making to Improve Care and Outcomes for Children With Autism

"Parents will receive an intervention modified from the previously published tool called Autism: Should My Child Take Medicine for Challenging Behavior? This packet provides parents with educational information, elicits parent ratings of particular behavioral domains, describes behaviors that are and are not amenable to medication treatment, and elicits parent preferences regarding treatment. Providers will be trained on use of the intervention in practice to promote shared decision making during clinical encounters."
