Autism Spectrum Disorder

This case study presents information regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder in children living in rural areas. This piece was completed for a Community Health course. Although this specific case was not based on a real child, it does mimic real world situations. This piece is pretty lengthy, consisting of 63 pages. However, it is broken down into sections making it easier for readers to find their specific topic of interest. This piece is valuable in learning how to conduct a proper needs assessment as well as finding the appropriate resources. Additionally, during a site visit to the area of study, I learned how to engage the community as well as discovered resources I had not known about previously.

This piece showcases my ability to:

• Conduct a needs assessment
•  Find research articles using electronic databases
• Summarize research articles and determine what information is valuable
• Write for an academic setting
• Engage a community

Completing this review allowed me to learn more about a subject that I feel passionate about and have a personal connection to.
