The Importance of Early Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

a.s.d.-umbrella-1024x576
In recent years, the rate of children being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) worldwide has increased. The prevalence also, of autism spectrum disorder has increased. In Australia, the former estimated that 1 child out every 100 children has ASD, now has been adjusted to read 1 in every 70 children is on the spectrum. With roughly 353,880 Australians living with autism, it is crucial to gain a better understanding of how to nurture and care for those around us living with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a disability that affects communication, social and behavioral abilities of a child. Delayed speech, repetitive behaviors such as hand flapping and head rocking, isolated play, inability to regulate emotions and lack of eye contact and warmth may all be signs of a toddler exhibiting a possibility of being on the spectrum. The moment a specialist confirms to parents that their child is on the spectrum may be one of the most painful and heartbreaking moments to face. However, after a diagnosis is confirmed, steps toward early intervention services are critical if the child is going to become the best version of him or herself in the long run.
In Australia, there is no shortage of information readily available to parents via the internet on what to expect with an autistic child going forward. Support services for autism in Australia are gaining significant traction with the growing prevalence of ASD. What may be lacking, however, is an awareness of how important early intervention services are.
When planning for early intervention therapy services for your child, a dimension of the reality of having an ASD diagnosed child to look at is financial support and funding. Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia (NDIS), disabled children and adults alike may receive funding for treatment and support. Supports included in this funding are daily personal activities, transportation to enable participation in social, economic and daily life activities, workplace support to enable beneficiaries to obtain and maintain a living, behavior therapy, help with household tasks, support equipment acquisition and maintenance,  home modification and design, mobility equipment, and vehicle modification.
