Intervention is a long-term process, typically spanning 3 to 5 years, or even longer. Both the therapists and parents must dedicate considerable effort to help children on the spectrum reach their full potential and close the gap between them and their typically developing peers.Progress is not always linear; it often involves making strides forward, followed by steps backward. This back-and-forth progression can be frustrating for parents. While it may seem counterproductive, setbacks often indicate that we are on the right path.
