AHA
Association is a New York organization providing
support and information for families, individuals
and professionals affected by Aspergers Syndrome,
High Functioning Autism, and Other Pervasive Developmental
Disorders.
Effective treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs)
is in its infancy. The search for effective treatment
is made more difficult because each individual on
the autism spectrum is unique. There is no "one
size fits all" treatment. A myriad of interventions
are being offered, including a wide variety of medications,
therapies, educational methodologies and nutritional
approaches.
While many of these methods reflect sound current
practice, many of them do not. A parent's urgency
to take action may be exploited by providers of unsound
practices that can be costly,timee-consuming and physically
demanding.
Through our support programs,
website, mailing
list and our
newsletter, On The Spectrum, we make
every effort to provide objective, up-to-date, reliable,
evidence based information, and urge you to thoughtfully
evaluate any proposed treatment.
