Children who have autism spectrum disorders can benefit from the establishment of guidelines for deeper nonmedical probing, according to a recently published study.
Additional research needs are required to develop consensus guidelines for the nonmedical treatment and intervention of children with cognitive functions and core deficits, states the study as published in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatricians. The study was performed under the auspices of the RAND Corporation, according to Babble, a blog that is for a new generation of parents.
The study concludes that a good step is the creation of treatment guidelines and recommendations for future research, which include opportunities for people who hold physical therapy jobs.
Children who are afflicted with ASD deserve to have increased and improved access to services and benefits that are likely to assist them with their conditions. But at the same time the research evidence that was reviewed was found to have a number of questions, the study abstract states.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, physical therapists help patients manage pain and increase range of motion.
