About This Treatment

Intensive multidisciplinary intervention programs for children with autism spectrum disorder combining Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, occupational therapy, and social skills training. China's autism treatment centers offer intensive daily programs that would cost significantly more in Western countries, with some integrating traditional Chinese medicine approaches like acupuncture for sensory regulation. Early intervention programs accept children from 18 months of age.
