One of the families I have the pleasure to assist participated in a six month study for young children on the autism spectrum. The study took place in a pre-school setting. The parents were very pleased with the results of the study. Their child demonstrated minimal skills compared to his typically developing peers.
The family was extremely concerned about the well-being of their child in a pre-school setting. By the end of the six month study, the child was demonstrating many age-appropriate skills in order to socialize and succeed academically. The parents noticed a huge difference in their child. Several months later, the family followed up with Kennedy Krieger Institute Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) as part of the study.
The parents expressed that they would not be able to teach their child the skills they learned through the Kennedy Krieger Institute (CARD). They were grateful the study existed and their child has able to participate. The child's parents were encouraged due to the child developing the essential skills in order to reach their full potential from participation in the program study. The six month research project helped families with young children on the autism spectrum learn skills which will assist them in reaching their full potential in a pre-school setting.
