Dr. Dan Shapiro
Successful Life vs. Meaningful Life
In this interview, we discuss:
- A pediatrician’s perspective on developmental differences, especially on Autism
- Autism diagnosis: The importance of categorical, etiologic and functional assessment, for an early detection so that we can intervene and help them along their way
- The case management, because “when you know one person with autism, you know one person with autism”
- Which domains of development you need to invest the most in and who to call
About the Speaker
“I came from my hometown of East Lansing, Michigan to attend medical school at George Washington University in D.C. My Pediatric Residency training was at Children’s Hospital in D.C., then I practiced Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine in Silver Spring, Maryland for 13 years before shifting my focus to Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.
I enjoy seeing children and consulting with parents in my home office. I also observe children and collaborate with educators at dozens of area schools. I developed the Parent Child Journey and Excursions Programs, offering these behavior management training courses throughout Greater Washington and internationally online. I am the author of numerous articles and three books: Parent Child Journey: An Individualized Approach to Raising Your Challenging Child, Parent Child Excursions: ADHD, Anxiety and Autism and a soon to be released children’s book on developmental differences.
I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a member of the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. I am married with 4 children and 2 grandchildren, all wonderfully different. My hobbies include music, reading, and floating down the Potomac in a kayak.”
