Early Intervention is Necessary for AS
Dr. Clatch reminds parents that early intervention is the best way to address a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome.
The diagnosis of a child with Asperger’s Syndrome brings with it many new challenges and a host of information. Parents experiencing this process for the first time may be overwhelmed. Many parents may question the need for services that require children to see specialists several times a week. Even though diagnosis and intervention may be difficult for children and parents, the reality is that early intervention is effective and necessary to help reduce developmental delays.
The sooner the delay is addressed, the better the long-term outcomes for the child. Recognizing the benefits of early intervention services may make it easier for parents to support this intervention and to help their children cope with the challenges created as a result of their diagnosis.
