|
The effectiveness of early screening of and intervention in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been proved repeatedly at home and abroad. All people engaged in the area agree on the importance of leading them to adaptive development for the purpose of research and national interest. What is most important for systematic approach and increase of effectiveness is to achieve convergence by understanding and integrating approaches of assessment and intervention in the areas of psychiatry, psychology, special education, and sensory integration therapy which were discussed and conducted individually. With recognition of ASD among infants and toddlers increasing at home and abroad and intervention policies being activated at the government level, this paper intends to examine the state of the interdisciplinary study on ASD among young children. This will in turn lay the groundwork for development of screening tools for young children with ASD at the government level in the future. This paper is ultimately aimed at forging interdisciplinary approach to develop reliable and valid screening tools to ease difficulties of young children with ASD, their families, and community organizations, promoting best development of young children with ASD and happiness of their families, and easing social and economic burdens of the country.
