Autism-World

• Make sure the program deals with all aspects of autism.
• Make sure the people offering the program are professionally qualified.
• Seek advice from your doctor, autism professionals and autism organisations.
• Only choose management programs that are based on sound, scientific principles.
• It might be best to avoid experimental programs. Consult with your doctor or autism professionals for guidance.
• Be wary of programs that claim to work for everyone with autism – their approach may be too broad to be useful.
• The program may be for children with particular abilities or who are a particular age, so check that it is appropriate for your child.
• Find out about the time and effort involved – for example, you may not have the time or resources to devote to an intensive program because of other children or work commitments.
