Early intervention and therapy can greatly improve behaviors and the likelihood that your child can reach their full potential. While diagnosis can be hard to confront, here are some considerations for parents who are on the fence about getting care for their child:

• Early Intervention: Research has proven that the earlier a child with autism receives treatment, the better the outcome. Early intervention can improve communication, social skills, and overall development.
• There is a Way: There are many effective techniques to treat autism, including:
  1. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
  2. Speech therapy
  3. Occupational therapy
  4. Social skills training
  At ACES we incorporate elements of social skill training and occupational therapy in our effective, science-backed technique. However, is critical to start as soon as possible to maximize benefits.
• They Will Not “Outgrow” the Issue. ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is a neuro-divergency that doesn’t resolve on its own.
• ABA Offers Support for the Whole Family: Autism not only affects the child but the entire family. ACES can provide support and resources to help the family cope with the challenges of raising a child with autism.

Early intervention for autism can greatly improve the child's development and long-term outcome. Studies have shown that children who receive early intervention have better language, social, and cognitive skills, and are more likely to attend mainstream schools and be employed as adults. Early intervention can also help reduce the severity of autism symptoms and improve the child's ability to communicate and interact with others.

It's important to work with healthcare professionals to determine the best approach for your child. Don't delay, get your child the care they need today.
