Global SIG: Global Knowledge Translation for Research On Early Identification and Intervention in Autism

There is increasing appreciation of the need to enhance research impact through the iterative and dynamic process of knowledge translation: The synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and application of knowledge to improve quality of life for people affected by autism. This SIG will initiate dialogue, identifying knowledge gaps, barriers, and action priorities with a particular emphasis on global knowledge translation in the area of early identification and intervention for autism. The theme of this year's activities will be "Lost in translation: Scientifically valid and contextually appropriate use of early screening and diagnostic instruments".
