Objectives and competences

This Specialization Diploma allows students to acquire the necessary knowledge to understand a condition that is not always well understood. The speed at which research advances has an important impact both on the early detection and diagnosis of autism and on the support that must be given to it from a biopsychosocial perspective. These circumstances make it essential that professionals strive to constantly update their knowledge. Only in this way is it possible to provide a high degree of quality in socio-family, psychopedagogical, clinical and medical contexts, among others.
