Abstract

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disease that occurs in early childhood. As the frequency of early detection of autism findings increases, intervention programs involving families become common. We herein present a boy who was diagnosed with autism at 19 months of age and followed up with Neuroplay Method integrated with home-based Ayres Sensory Integration intervention, which significantly improved his autism findings.
