MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
Attune Marketing Group seeks to make a difference, not only in the outcomes we provide our client partners, but in raising awareness for Autism.
Why Autism?
Approximately 1 in 68 children in the United States has been identified with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)*. With this incidence, you will regularly encounter an autistic patient making it important you understand how to adapt your engagement strategies to achieve ideal outcomes and satisfaction with this unique patient population.
What is Autism and Its Impact on Healthcare?
Autism Spectrum Disorders are a complex set of neurological disorders that severely impair social, communicative and cognitive functions. Because autism is a spectrum, no two patients with autism will respond the same, so it’s important providers understand how to identify and prepare to manage these patients.
What is Attune Doing?
In addition to raising awareness for autism, Attune Marketing Group seeks to provide healthcare providers with tools to better engage with this special patient population. To accomplish this goal, Attune will:
- Offer a complimentary workshop with client partner organizations to help them better understand autism from a patient’s POV with the objective of identifying adaptations to improve compliance and satisfaction.
- Provide insights into the challenges autistic patients and their families have with blog posts on @TUNED IN.
- Work with autism advocacy groups to raise education and funding to develop programming for autism patient engagement protocols within various healthcare delivery environments.
Meet Ian
This inspiration for our cause is Ian, the quirky, Greek Mythology-obsessed son of Attune Marketing Group Founder, Jen Dally. Ian is considered high-functioning autistic, however, that doesn’t mean he will let you approach him like any other patient. With Ian, you can expect lots of questions. LOTS. It’s not just the what, but he wants to know the why, the how and any potential alternatives.
Like many autistic children, Ian has several comorbidities that require frequent interactions with healthcare providers and organizations. Giving Attune a very unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that exist.
