How is Autism treated?

Behavior Intervention and Autism

There are many differing behavioral treatments for Autism. For example, Lovass' Behavioral Intervention uses 'Discreet Trial' methodology to teach a child appropriate behavior, Gentle Teaching and TEACCH focus correcting a child's behavior by following the child's agenda and building on positive behaviors that are already there.

No one behavioral intervention is superior to another, they simply all take a different approach. It is important, then, to research the various interventions before deciding on any given one.
