of every 250 children born today. It affects the
social, communication, behavioral and cognitive
skills of very young children.
Autism is diagnosed more often than childhood cancer and Down Syndrome combined.
Evidence shows that early intervention results in dramatically positive outcome for young children with autism.
Emphasis on early, appropiate and intensive educational interventions for young children can be achieved by a well designed intervention approach that include elements of communication therapy, social skill developmentand applied behavior analysis, delivered by trained professionals in a consistent, comprehensive and coordinated manner.
