The importance of early identification of autism in children and how early intervention approach can lead to better outcomes and reduce cost

Bernadett Rankasz, Head of Early Years, BeyondAutism

Although, we are still in the process of finding out the cause of autism and understand why it manifests very differently in each individual, it is evident that it has an impact on the development of the brain. We have only just begun to understand how the brain of an autistic individual is different from a neurotypical person’s brain and research is looking into brain structure and chemistry, connections, and neurological processes. In this session Bernadett discusses the importance of early identification of autism in children and the long terms benefits of early intervention.
