Autism Prevention Plan (PPA)
The Autism Prevention Plan (APP) is a strategy that focuses on:
-Provide crucial support to children aged 0-3 years who exhibit symptoms, traits, or have been diagnosed with autism
The plan encompasses actions, services, measurements, evaluations, and treatments to ensure these children receive top priority assistance.
The proposed treatment is: a minimum of 20 hours of treatment per week, which includes:
-Assessment.
-Family support, psychological support for the family.
-Therapy sessions for the child: music therapy and sensory therapy.
Integration therapy to address the first warning signs and manage the child's anxiety.
- Speech therapy sessions when language begins to emerge. - Guidelines to follow at home.
There are general guidelines and approaches recommended by experts and specialized organizations.
These may include:
Early Intervention: Start intervention as early as possible to take advantage of critical periods of development.
Multidisciplinary approach: Involve various professionals, such as psychologists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, educators and doctors.
Clear and consistent communication: Use clear and structured language, adapted to the individual needs of the child or adult with autism.
Environmental adaptations: Adjusting the environment to minimize sensory stimuli and facilitate comfort and participation.
Promoting social skills: Teach and practice social skills, such as eye contact, shared play, and empathy. 6. Inclusion: Encourage inclusion in educational and community settings whenever possible.
How to implement
INDIVIDUALIZED: There is no single, identical habilitation program for all affected individuals. The diversity among them (severity, associated problems, age, environmental conditions, etc.) makes an identical treatment plan inadvisable for everyone. The treatment plan must be justified for each specific case.
STRUCTURED: This involves both adapting the environment to the predictability and stability needs of these individuals and explaining the objectives to be achieved and the activities designed to achieve them. Only an organized, pre-structured, multidisciplinary program allows for a reliable evaluation of the objectives achieved, which must always have been agreed upon.
with family, whenever feasible.
INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE: It is essential that the family take advantage of all natural opportunities to implement the individualized plan, or create them, in order to achieve the average of 20 to 25 hours per week recommended by internationally recognized institutions. This fosters the generalization of behaviors acquired in more structured environments. This is the best way to ensure that children learn new social, communicative, adaptive, and play skills, while simultaneously minimizing, as much as possible, the symptoms of autism and other associated problems that may arise.
It is essential to consider the specific needs of each person with autism, as what works for one person may not work for another. Consulting with specialized professionals and staying up-to-date on best practices in autism intervention is crucial. It is important to remain informed about the latest advances in autism treatment and to consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice based on each individual's unique needs.
