Therapeutic Services

It has been scientifically proven that the affects of autism can be greatly improved upon in time with treatment such as early intervention services and other therapeutic services. “Individual child therapy is intensive, preventative, developmental, habilitative, and remedial treatment of a child for the purpose of accelerating the child’s development and functional skill acquisition, or the remediation of specific skill or behavioral deficits” (Rhode Island Department of Human Services). This therapy is extremely important for the growth of these individuals. It allows them the opportunity to reduce their autistic symptoms, while also allowing them to keep their sense of self. All of these early intervention therapies help for children with autism to grow and live healthy lives. It gives them the opportunity to actually be mainstreamed into a public school system, and become active community members.
