A recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics, significant benefits were shown with a teaching program for parental engagement with babies identified as high risk for autism spectrum disorder. (ASD).
Studies have shown intervention at 2 years of life, can improve outcomes for children.
The study states in a "clinical trial of 103 infants showing early behavioral signs of ASD, preemptive intervention led to a statistically significant reduction in the severity of ASD behaviors across early childhood. Infants who received the preemptive intervention had lower odds of meeting diagnostic criteria for ASD (7%) than those who received usual care (21%) at age 3 years."
