Are There Any Treatments available for ASD? There are several treatments applied to treat ASD. Here are the most common one:

Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-Based Approach (DIR) - Better known as Floor time. That’s because it involves you getting on the floor with the child to play and do the activities they like. It’s meant to support emotional and intellectual growth by helping them learn skills around communication and emotions.
Treatment & Education of Autistic and Related Communication - Handicapped Children (TEACCH) – Involves use of visual cues such as picture cards to help children learn everyday skills like getting dressed. Information is broken down into small steps so they can learn it more easily.
The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) - This is another visual-based treatment, but it uses symbols symbols instead of picture cards. Children learn to ask questions and communicate through special.
