While there are many therapies that individuals and organizations state are effective in treating children with Autism, beware of any therapeutic interventions that cannot offer scientific data to support their claims. While anecdotal evidence, or stories and personal accounts, may initially seem very compelling and impressive, one cannot truly know if a therapy is effective until it has been proven by years of scientific research, which involves highly controlled studies whose results are published in peer-reviewed journals.
Currently, the treatment for children with autism that is best supported by the most scientific research - over fifty years in fact - is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). To learn more about ABA and other therapeutic interventions associated with the treatment of individuals with Autism, check out www.AutismBeacon.comand look under the category "Therapy & Treatment Services & Methodologies."
