Superando Barreras: Mejorando el Acceso a Servicios Conductuales para Niñes con Autismo y otras Discapacidades del Neurodesarrollo (Español/Spanish) 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 Superando Barreras: Mejorando el Acceso a Servicios Conductuales para Niñes con Autismo y otras Discapacidades del Neurodesarrollo (Español/Spanish), for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

La Clínica de Discapacidades del Desarrollo de KKI en Baltimore, MD, ha implementado estrategias efectivas que han mejorado significativamente el acceso a servicios tanto para niñes con Autismo como para sus familias. Más allá de la terapia de ABA, se enfocan en capacitar a cuidadores en el manejo del comportamiento mediante diversas terapias utilizando fundamentos del ABA y otras terapias respaldadas por evidencia. También se discutirán iniciativas que han logrado reducir las largas listas de espera, como servicios de corta duración, facturación, y telemedicina. Se destacarán dos estudios de caso en donde estas estrategias fueron efectivas para unir la brecha y ampliar acceso a servicios conductuales de alta efectividad. El simposio pretende crear conexiones profesionales con proveedores de servicios conductuales y de entrenamiento en Puerto Rico, con la finalidad de colaboración a nivel clínico y académico. Por tanto, el objetivo del simposio es inspirar a los profesionales a reconocer la necesidad de más expertos en ABA, abordar barreras y proponer posibles soluciones para mejorar el acceso a servicios y establecer sistemas de apoyo para cuidadores de niñes con autismo.
