"Evidence shows that early intervention results in dramatically positive outcomes for young children with Autism"
__________
Early diagnosis can be the key to a brighter future for a child with autism. The earlier a child is diagnosed, the sooner he or she can benefit from the intervention programs available. Diagnosing a child’s learning process at an early age not only helps the child develop, but also can be a comfort for the parents. Early diagnosis gives parents the opportunity to grow with their child and lets them realize that they are not alone; there are many other families in similar situations.
Approach any new treatment with hopeful skepticism. Remember the goal of any treatment should be to help the person with autism become a fully functioning member of society __________ Intensive, appropriate early intervention greatly improves the outcome for most young children with autism. Most programs will build on the interests of the child in a highly structured schedule of constructive activities. Visual aids are often helpful. Treatment is most successful when geared toward the individual’s particular needs. An experienced specialist or team should design the individualized program. A variety of effective therapies are available, including auditory integration training, applied behavior analysis, medications, music therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, sensory integration, speech/language therapy, and vision therapy.
