At this appointment, it was recommended that we seek out further observations and assessments.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We began the process of researching the best ways to help our young autistic son to grow and learn.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As we ventured into working with organizations, The Child Development Services Agency suggested that he receive both occupational and speech therapy on a weekly basis. Therapy provided him with one on one teaching opportunities that helped build his vocabulary and his sensory coping techniques.

One group was given an enhanced intervention therapeutic schedule while the other group was in a community based therapy program.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>At the conclusion, the group of toddlers with intervention vastly improved, over three times higher than the other group.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The difference between success and failure is early intervention. Services through early intervention and therapy provide children the ability to flourish in almost any educational environment.
