Product Description:

Autism is a severely incapacitating lifelong developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. It is the result of a neurological disorder with a wide range of severities characterized by impairments of social interaction and communication, and by restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Autism is not a disease; it is a syndrome diagnosed by the presence and intensity of various behavioral traits. It is important to understand and be able to meet the child?s needs. Intervention programs focus on the family and education program.
