Who We Are
The Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs Fellowship is a systematic pediatric CME program with one purpose...
...to prepare medical professionals to deliver the best possible care for the medical needs of children with autism spectrum disorders and other related special needs conditions.
Be a MAPS Practitioner
The MAPS program develops a highly skilled, confident and successful practitioner in this emerging field of care by focusing on these key areas.
Fact
The current statistic is that 1 in 88 children in the United States has some form of ASD. This means that an average of 1 in 30 households is somehow impacted by this disorder. If you deal with children as a pediatric physician or family doctor or care for children in any professional practice, your patient base verifies this trend.
