Written By Jill Escher, President

Here are the slides (in PDF) from the Special Interest Group on Severe Behaviors in Autism, held at the International Society for Autism Research on May 13, 2022, in Austin, Texas. They contain contributions from many of our presenters including Dr Lee Wachtel, Dr Imtiaz Mubbashar, Dr Matt Siegel, Dr Deborah Bilder, and others. There are 69 slides in the deck. We regret an audio recording is not available (per INSAR policy) but we will post more information about follow-up efforts from this SIG.

Some highlights from the slide deck:
