Intense intervention in a normal classroom can help children with autism.
This case follows a child in China who was diagnosed with autism at 3 years of age and given 10 months of therapy. The boy had a normal birth in Nanjing. The author was most concerned about whether or not the therapy could improve the self-concept of the boy with autism. The author describes self-concept as important for communication. The boyâs parents and teachers talked daily and worked together to teach the boy. Interventions included the use of many photos and videos; use of model students in the classroom; play therapy; and positive feedback from teachers and parents.
