Autism is a neurobiologically-based
developmental disability that emerges during a child’s first
three years of life. Children with autism display marked
impairments in communication and social relatedness, and
demonstrate a restricted range of interests and behavior.
Significant deficits in language and socialization may place
children with autism at risk for developing severe behavior
problems such as tantrums, aggression, and self-injury.
Every child with autism faces unique
challenges, and every family affected by autism needs
reliable support and expert guidance. With early intensive
behavioral intervention, children with autism and their
families can meet autism’s challenges and reach their
maximum potential.
