The earliest days in a child’s life play a crucial role in the person they will become. If your child has autism or you think they might, now is the time to act. “Early intervention” describes the services available to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with autism. The objective of early childhood intervention is to lessen the effects or symptoms of autism that would likely impact the child’s development and learning ability. Whether your child is already diagnosed or not, it’s vital to intervene and call a licensed professional as soon as you notice symptoms. The “early” in early intervention is imperative. Young children (ages 0-6) have billions more neurons and synapses than they will at any other age, which means it’s easier for them to learn when they’re little.
