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.
