Question

An 8-month-old child has been diagnosed with autism. What should be done for intervention treatment?

Answer

The latest treatment methods for autism include:

  1. ABA Applied Behavior Analysis, a form of round-robin teaching that breaks down goals, reinforces, and assists through systematic operations.
  2. PCI Game Culture Intervention Therapy, a systematic intervention program developed by Professor Yang Zongren of Taiwan based on the “Human Development Relationships Chapter” and combined with localized game teaching practices.
  3. TEACCH Structured Teaching Method, proposed by psychologist Eric Schatzberg at the University of North Carolina in the 1960s and adopted by many public school systems. It provides a structured educational environment with distinct, clear areas for each task. It relies on visual learning and is particularly effective for many children with autism and on the autism spectrum.
