WIBA 2023 Invited Speaker: Early Markers of Autism in Infant Siblings is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In WIBA 2023 Invited Speaker: Early Markers of Autism in Infant Siblings, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

The second purpose is to pilot the Early Markers of Autism (EMA) assessment tool for young infants, developed by the authors. Currently 52 high-risk siblings and 30 low-risk babies under 6 months of age are participating in this study. Data to date reveal that there are five key early markers of autism in infants, and each can be effectively assessed using the EMA. These findings have implications for the early identification of autism in infants, leading to long term positive outcomes for infants and families.
