Many children may be diagnosed with autism years too late to benefit from early behavioral intervention, according to 2011 national survey findings released Thursday from the National Institute of Mental Health.
Intensive behavioral therapy for autism, which can begin as early as age
two, can significantly improve language and thinking skills in children
with autism, according to the National Institutes of Health. The
therapy, which helps develop a child's social and behavior skills within
different environments, is considered among the best forms of treatment
by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
