What is Autism? \/\u00a0Que es Autismo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Autism is a neurological disorder. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders. Currently 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with Autism. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, using language and abstract concepts, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and high function.<\/p>\n

El Autismo es un trastorno neurol\u00f3gico. Es parte de un grupo de trastornos conocidos como Trastornos del Espectro Autista (TEA). Actualmente se diagnostica con Autismo a 1 de cada 68 ni\u00f1os. En el Autismo las interacciones sociales con otras personas, tanto f\u00edsicas y verbales no son f\u00e1ciles de llevar. El autismo da\u00f1a la capacidad de una persona para comunicarse y relacionarse con otros. Tambi\u00e9n, est\u00e1 asociado con rutinas y comportamientos repetitivos, tales como seguir rutinas muy especificas o arreglar objetos obsesivamente. Los s\u00edntomas pueden variar desde severos y leves o de alta funci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Early Intervention \/\u00a0Intervenci\u00f3n Temprana<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Research shows that early intervention in an appropriate educational setting for at least two years during the preschool years can have significant improvements for many young children with autism. Early intervention is critical for the child to fully benefit from all existing therapies. As soon as autism is diagnosed, intervention must begin with effective programs that focus on developing communication skills, socialization and cognitive.<\/p>\n

Las investigaciones indican que una intervenci\u00f3n temprana en un entorno educativo apropiado, por lo menos por dos a\u00f1os durante la etapa preescolar, puede tener mejoras significativas para muchos ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os con Autismo. Una intervenci\u00f3n temprana es cr\u00edtica para que el ni\u00f1o pueda beneficiarse al m\u00e1ximo de todas las terapias existentes. Tan pronto como se diagnostique el Autismo, la intervenci\u00f3n debe comenzar con programas eficaces, enfocados en el desarrollo de habilidades de comunicaci\u00f3n, socializaci\u00f3n y cognoscitivas.
