University of Washington offers an early intervention toddler program that is designed to help young children with autism.
This paper describes Project DATA for Toddlers, which is a mixture of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and early intervention/early childhood special education. While the toddlers improved with the program, none of them were able to continue at a "normal" school program. In this way the program was not better and no worse than any other early childhood program. The good thing about the Project DATA for Toddlers is that it offers a model program for very young children that can specifically help with the many different aspects of autism. The other good thing is that it offers 16 hours of therapy per week as opposed to the three hours per week that is commonly found with early intervention.
