Spectrum Disorders

In research studies, we are now able to identify many infants who are at risk for later diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as early as 12 months of age. The authors are part of a research team developing and testing a tool for early identification and also testing the efficacy of an early intervention for infants at risk for ASD. Challenges encountered in this research highlight some of the issues that speech-language pathologists and other professionals serving the infant/toddler population may face. This article uses our research team’s experiences to raise some of the ethical and practical concerns regarding translating from research to practice in early identification for this population, and the potential implications for early intervention policies and services.

Early help for children with autism spectrum disorders is the most effective way of intervention for disorders. In the process of identifying children at risk of autistic disorders, correctional work should begin before the official diagnosis has been made. It should start in the process of diagnosis, which leads to the risk of noting false-positive cases. The empirical and theoretical grounds for the necessity for early care in autism spectrum disorders are examined. Features of early care for children at high risk of developing disorders are also de¬scribed. The stages of early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders are identified and compared with the stages of early care for such children. The strategy of early care methodological support for children at risk is defined. Propositions for practical realizations of the Concept of developing early support in Russian Federation in the period until 2020 for the risk group concerning autism spectrum disorders.
