Treatment Options

There are many types of treatments available. These include applied behavior analysis, social skills training, occupational therapy, physical therapy, sensory integration therapy, and the use of assistive technology.

The types of treatments generally can be broken down into the following categories:

Behavior and Communication Approaches

  • Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
  • Assistive Technology
  • Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-Based Approach (also called “Floortime”)
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Social Skills Training
  • Speech Therapy

Dietary Approaches

Some dietary treatments have been developed to address ASD symptoms.  Dietary treatments are based on the idea that food allergies or lack of vitamins and minerals cause symptoms of ASD. However, a 2017 systematic review of 19 randomized control trials found little evidence to support the use of dietary treatments for children with ASD

Medication

There are no medications that can cure ASD or treat the core symptoms. However, there are medications that can help some people with ASD function better. Medications might not affect all children in the same way. It is important to work with a healthcare professional who has experience in treating children with ASD.
