Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Thanks for joining the Ideas For Scrapbookers blog hop today. If you've been hopping along, you just came from Sarah's blog where you learned about medical issues that accompany autism. If you've just joined the hop, you can get a list of all the participating Artists here. I'm going to be sharing information about the treatment autism.
Right now, the main research-based treatment for ASDs is intensive structured teaching of skills, often called behavioral intervention. It is very important to begin this intervention as early as possible in order to help a child reach his or her full potential. Acting early can make a real difference! Some of the approaches may include:
•Occupational Therapy
•Physical Therapy
•Behavior Modification
•Communication Therapy
•Social Skills Therapy
•Dietary Modification
•Medicine
•Sensory Integration Therapy

Thanks for the info. My sister is an occupational therapist and has some great treatment ideas for it. I hope she will be able to publish it one day so other people will be able to use it!

Thank you so much for sharing your information with us!!!
Early Intervention is key...I just wish that there were more resources for these children but it is such a complex disorder that each and every child on the spectrum is so different in what they may be needing at any given time. I appreciate that you have enlightened some people on this topic. Thanks from me & my child with Aspergers! Cheryl
