Abstract
Working in interprofessional teams is best practice in providing services to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In order to provide quality Interprofessional Care (IPC) for individuals with ASD and their families, associated healthcare professionals need a foundation for practice based in interprofessional training. This training can be achieved through Interprofessional Education (IPE). This chapter, which is divided into three sections, focuses on IPE and training with an emphasis on ASD. Section 1, Teamwork in Interprofessional Care and Education, addresses team science, how to effectively work in groups, and the link between IPC and service provision for individuals with ASD. Section 2, The Details of IPE, addresses the who, what, where, when, and why of IPE and outlines its various components. Section 3, A Detailed Example of an IPE Program, discusses the federally funded Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program, including exploring relevant historical information and a specific example of one LEND program. The chapter concludes with a brief conclusion and recommendations.
