One of the great advantages in the evolution of autism treatment is early intervention, as it positively influences Superkiddos because it allows them to acquire new skills and provides them with long-term improvement in their symptoms.
If your Kiddo receives an early diagnosis, intervention at preschool age will be essential to achieve the best possible long-term outcome and allow them to develop their full potential.
What is the appropriate age to start the intervention?
In the past, early intervention studies found that children with ASD who received services before age four made faster progress than those who entered programs after that age. Currently, studies affirm that the recommended time to achieve greater effectiveness is the age of two years.
You will surely wonder why it is so important to start intervention at this age, Super Parent, and it is simple: neuroplasticity or the brain’s ability to form new connections. At 2-3 years old, a child’s brain is still in the development phase and has greater plasticity. In other words, the brain is more moldable.
In some cases, early developmental and behavioral intervention can help children progress to the point where they are no longer considered on the autism spectrum or assumed to be older in age.
What benefits does Early Intervention give us?
Early intervention programs have the goal to help children with ASD develop the skills they would normally learn at age two, such as:
•Communication skills
•Social skills
•Emotional skills
•Physical skills
•Thinking skills
There are different types of intervention; However, the most important is the consideration of the individual profile of the child and her family (strengths and weaknesses), a highly structured environment, as well as regularity in the frequency of work. At SuperKids we specialize in behavioral and developmental therapy applying ABA Therapy tools.
