Abstract

Research indicates that children with autism experience gains in cognitive, linguistic, and behavioral functioning when recipients of early identification and intervention. Although there has been a significant increase in autism identification, it appears that there is a general hesitancy to conduct standardized screenings for autism in a pediatric health care clinics. The available data suggest that there is an extensive delay between when parents first report developmental concerns to when a child is finally evaluated and receives a formal autism diagnosis. To help meet the developmental needs of children, practitioners should regularly screen for the early signs of autism.
