Our Divisions

"A treatment method or an educational method
that will work for one child may not work for another child"

Early Intervention :

"The one common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis"

Early intervention refers to doing things as early as possible to work on child's autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Early intervention for children with ASD is made up of therapies and services. Young children with autism who receive the recommended early intervention have a much greater chance, later in life, of living independently, securing employment and developing meaningful and lasting friendships and relationships.
