ABSTRACT: Autism is a complex disability that requires collaboration, consultation and communication for provision of optimum treatment and
intervention. Both psychiatrists and educators are key to the well-being of
children and their families and can work together successfully in a
comprehensive framework. This article provides information and
recommendations in order to bridge both disciplinary fields so that this
framework can be established.
