Opportunities For Autistic Children.....

Rochelle and Ian Yankwitt were thrilled when their son Casey was born, but a few months after his birth, Casey failed to respond to his name or make any kind of communication, his mother recalled in an interview. "I thought he was deaf, "Ms. Yankwitt said but tests showed nothing wrong with his hearing. Instead at 14 months, Casey was diagnosis of autism. His parents both lawyers, wasted no time in setting up early intervention treatments speech and occupational therapy, which is an special education provided by New York State for developmentally disabled children. How would you react if your child started to act unusual.

Laura Schreibman, a psychologist who is the director of the Autism Research Program at the University of California, San Diego, and the author of "The Science and Fiction of Autism", explains that there are possible treatments that can help autistic children but it has to be individualized.
What works to reduce symptoms in one child may or may not help another. Autism is highly variable with periodic improvements and regressions and most children receive several therapies at once.

Dr. Schreibman felt that the only approach that has been scientifically validated to help, though by no means cure, autistic children is behavioral intervention that mimics the way normal children learn. For example, if the child wants to play with a toy car, the therapists holds it and encourages the child to say "car". How creative is that? If the child makes the "c" sound, he is given the car to play with. The next session may required the child to say "car". This way, the child can develop communication and interaction skills.
