Nurses can help families of children with autism to work with the medical system.
People with autism vary quite a bit and therefore the help that nurses can provide families with autism will also vary quite a bit. Nurses can begin by learning about autism and learning about the patientâs specific kind of autism. Nurses can also help families by learning about local therapy resources. Nurses can be willing to learn about the family's needs by spending time talking with the family over the phone. The nurse should learn how the child communicates and assess whether there needs to be an interpreter (sign language) or assistive device at the appointment.
