The Importance of Early, Intensive Intervention
Research consistently shows that early, intensive, individualised intervention during the preschool years produces the greatest developmental gains, making prompt access to intervention services a priority following diagnosis.
Addressing Co-Existing Difficulties
Many autistic children also experience ADHD, anxiety, or sleep difficulties, and comprehensive intervention planning addresses these alongside core autism-focused therapies.
