Abstract

The article highlights a meeting of an international, multidisciplinary panel of clinical practitioners and researchers with expertise in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and development disabilities convened in Marina del Ray, California in October 2010 to develop best practice standards for early identification, screening and early intervention for ASD in very young children. It suggests that interventions started at an early age can lead to marked improvements in targeted skills.
