Treatment of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Vlora

Abstract

Autism is a complex lifelong developmental disability that causes problems with social interaction and communication. Symptoms usually start before the third age and can cause delays or problems in many different skills that develop from infancy to adulthood. This neural disorder is little known from parents and teachers. The problem in the learning process depends even on the type of autism and the time of diagnosis. It is really difficult to diagnose these disorders due to the fact that they belong to the early years of childhood. Taking into consideration the information about the autistic children in Vlora , where there is a large number of autistic children I think that there will be a contribution related to their difficulties in the learning process and there will be collected more information on the causes of autism. There is no cure for autism, nor is there one single treatment for autism spectrum disorders. Anyway, there are ways to help minimize the symptoms of autism and to maximize learning, like Behaviour management therapy, Speech-language therapists, Physical therapists, Educational and/or school-based options. The researches will come up with real results in order to bring about more changes in the education policies and involving different projects of groups of interest.
