Parents Can Learn to Teach Social and Language Skills to Children with Autism -- NEW YORK, July 26 /PRNewswire/ --

Parents Can Learn to Teach Social and Language Skills to Children with Autism -- NEW YORK, July 26 /PRNewswire/ --: "One of the most common initial red flags reported by parents of children with autism is that they suspect their child may be deaf because he or she no longer responds to his or her name, and does not look at them when they speak. However, the lack of response or eye contact can point to an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In fact, many children on the autism spectrum do not demonstrate typical language skills and social behavior, or even lose language or social skills they once had."

While there is some very good information in this article, the indication that ABA is the only well researched and effective treatment, is not correct, as you will see in other posts in this blog.
