The ethos of early intervention in autism is to embrace the developmental window when a child's brain is most malleable. Our proactive methodology is meticulously designed to leverage this flexibility, fostering substantial strides in both cognitive and social abilities. This early investment in a child's growth is pivotal, setting the cornerstone for lifelong learning, fostering independence, and enhancing overall quality of life.

April is #AutismAwarenessMonth / #AutismAcceptanceMonth. Throughout the month, we are highlighting FPG projects supporting autistic individuals, their caregivers, and service providers.  FPG scientists are supporting early intervention providers in early care and education spaces to implement evidence-based practices for toddlers with autism and their caregivers.  Learn more: https://go.unc.edu/Rn2z3  #Autism #AutismResearch 

Hi Nicole Weinstein thanks for a great article. As an occupational therapist working in schools and preschools, a huge barrier I see is the “bones” of classrooms before teachers even step into their room. While building standards require new builds and renovations to adhere to specific standards, there are many classrooms which don’t yet meet these standards compounding the challenges for the teacher. For example: - the acoustic environment (how is environmental noise such as traffic, chairs scraping being prevented and reverberation minimised?) - the visual environment. (I.e. What colours/patterns are carpets, walls, pin up boards) - the furniture (colours, good ergonomic fit for students, making height adjustable, alternative seating available) - the size of the classroom. It’s interesting after speaking with lots of educators they observed classrooms which had more space supported their autistic learners. Things like minimising bumps (which is important for people who are sensitive to touch input), being able to come together but also have their own space when needed. I look forward to all these elements become standard practice in all education environments.

Early Intervention for Child Development Early intervention refers to the practice of providing support and services to individuals, typically children, who are at risk of or already experiencing developmental delays, disabilities, or other challenges. The goal is to identify and address these issues as early as possible to improve outcomes and help individuals reach their full potential. Early intervention programs often involve a multidisciplinary approach, including therapies, education, and family support. This can be particularly crucial in addressing issues like speech and language delays, autism, and various developmental or behavioral challenges in children.

Breaking down barriers starts with understanding: Recent data from the NDIA shows that 1 in 25 seven- to 14-year-olds are diagnosed with autism. This statistic isn't just a number - it's a reminder of the diverse spectrum of individuals who deserve our support and guidance. By offering the right resources, we can empower those with autism to thrive in a world that celebrates their unique strengths.
