Persons living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder have the right to adequate early intervention services.
    • Since studies show conclusively that early intervention is imperative in addressing the long term effects of autism spectrum disorders, the earlier the intervention begins the better the outcomes.
    • In order to be effective, early intervention programs must have an aggressive design so that all of the communication, social, behavioral and sensory needs of each child are met.
    • The most formative years for development are between birth and 7 years of age.  Therefore, early intervention programs must include a plan to continue services without interruption between early intervention and transition to pre-kindergarten.
