Autism and deafness are commonly observed in early intervention and school-based settings. With over a decade of clinical experience, we present experiences with caregivers, signs/symptoms of autism versus deafness versus comorbid occurrences of both disorders and our approaches to evaluation and treatment. Lessons learned and clinical approaches will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Discriminate diagnostic criteria for ASD versus Deafness
Apply evidenced-based treatment approaches to ASD and Deafness
Describe principles of assessment, treatment, and clinical management of ASD, Deafness, and comorbid conditions
