Early Signs of AutismChild Development Media » Intervention & Prevention » Early Signs of AutismAutism is one of the most elusive and damaging of all childhood disorders: at an early age, a shell forms around the child’s personality, drawing him inside an internal world and losing his capacity to relate to the world around him. The later it is diagnosed, the further removed the child becomes, and thus more difficult to treat. But current research suggests that early signs can be identified, and if intervention can take place quickly, can often prevent the autistic withdrawal of the child. All titles in this section discuss various aspects of early autistic indicators, the many forms they can take, and steps that can be taken for early intervention. Many titles come from presentations given at the First International Conference On Signs of Autism in Infants, held in 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, and hosted by Child Development Media.  This, first in the series, DVD addresses the need for early identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder by providing instruction in how to observe key behaviors in young children to help make a judgment about possible autism. Video illustrations from home movies of children with autism spectrum disorder are compared to typically developing children filmed for this project.
 The four young children in this video are under 30 months and all have a diagnosis of autism. Behaviors characteristic of autism are demonstrated by the children in this video. The video underscores the importance of early identification and intervention for children and their families. Available on DVD and VHS formats.

 In this presentation a wide range of behavioral development are illustrated by analyses of the home videos of two homozygous twin girls, both of whom developed ASD, but at different ages.
 The purpose of this presentation is to examine the linkage between parent-child play interactions and the social/ communicative development of children with autism.
 This presentation, by Sandra Maestro and Filippo Muratori, provides a brief history of the research and methodology for treating autism in infancy based on the retrospective analysis of home movies.
 In this presentation Lonnie Zwaigenbaum and Shelley Mitchell review the initial findings of baby sibs studies of over 100 younger siblings of children with autism who have been followed from infancy to age 3-4 years.
 As cases of autism continue to rise worldwide the successful DIR/Floortime approach, described in this book by Drs Stanley Greenspan and Serena Wieder, is producing very promising results that could one day stem the tide against this dread disorder.
 This book presents recent advances in understanding and treating autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in very young children.
 Authorities of clinical work with emotional and developmental challenges in the early years of life show how to use their systematic approach, the DIR (Developmental, Individual-Differences, Relationship-Based) model, to treat young children with emotional and developmental problems.
 This book provides an explanation of how people first began using symbols and how symbols evolved and were passed down through multiple centuries.
 This 45-min. video is the first in a series that documents the challenges and demonstrates the strategies and techniques of achieving a high quality ABA program in schools for 3- to 5-year-old children with autism. It can be done--and this video shows the way!
