THE ISSUE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents research on early intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the early years. It notes that the literature focuses primarily on preschool- and early-school-aged children with ASD, while the field of early intervention for these children has been less extensively studied. On the other hand, the recent increase in the number of children with ASD and their early identification, coupled with the provision of effective support, facilitates their inclusion. Current trends underscore the importance of taking cultural context into account and developing national models to support people with ASD. This paper presents an analysis of clinical cases involving the assessment of young children using the VB-MAPP tool, with a focus on identifying developmental characteristics and determining the direction of effective intervention. The practical significance of this study lies in establishing the need for a systematic, development-oriented assessment as part of early intervention for children with ASD.
