Teaching children with Autism in mainstream early learning
|
Intensive early intervention has been proven to be effective in supporting the development of children with autism spectrum disorder, improving language, adaptive and social behaviours, as well as cognitive abilities.
But as this kind of therapy is often engaged in through specialist centres it can become very expensive for families.
"A minimum of 15-25 hours per week of early intervention is recommended to support communication and independence skills in young autistic children," say La Trobe University Research Fellows Kristelle Hudry and Cathy Bent in an article for The Conversation.
"This is usually achieved through specialist centre- or home-based services. But this level of intensity is expensive, and unaffordable for many families."

Socialising children who have been in lockdown
|
Proper socialisation is essential for children in the early years. It helps young children to reach their developmental milestones, learn how to interact with others, develop a sense of self, learn how to empathise and so much more.
But in the wake of so much mandatory isolation, social distancing and COVID-19 enforced lockdowns, how have young children been impacted by a lack of opportunities to gain socialisation skills?
In this article we also ask how we can help them to readjust to attending early learning services in person rather than through online interactions (for those who have been in lockdown at home), and how to keep them safe with the disease still very much an issue.
