One of the biggest challenges facing parents after their child has received an autism diagnosis is finding good, reliable information about the many treatments out there. In this section, you will find unbiased information on many of the treatment options available. On our Resource Directory you will find many links to many different options. Read through each, visit each treatment's Web site, talk with your doctor, talk with others that may have tried these interventions, take time to talk or visit with the treatment facilitators, and then decide which treatment is best for you, your family and your child.
We want to provide you with as much information as possible, including the downfalls that have been reported with any interventions. This information is simply that; information. It does not represent a pro or con stance that Arizona Autism Support has taken on the issue simply just the information out there and we do not claim that these concerns are true or false. That is something you must do in your own research.
Arizona Autism Support does assert that No treatment is perfect. Nor is every treatment right for each person. But you must have all the information in order to make the right decision for you and your child.
Some parents find success after the first attempt. Others need to try more than one treatment until they find ones that provide success for their loved one. And some try a combination of treatments at once. It's a very individual process. There are no right answers. So take your time and do what feels right for you and your child.
