![]() at it's most basic, where we can significantly intervene at it's simplest where we can still manage it.Īutism is a disruption of the social resonance, which is the earliest form of adaptive behavior humans develop. So, if we view treatment through the lens of development - that is, from the ground up, it makes perfect sense to focus our work in building the basic foundations for development. We at Betwixt wanted to create a tool that can address the specific problems in autism and target the problem at it's very core. If we want change to happen more drastically, we need to optimize his development. We can build pre-requisite skills and let development unfold more effortlessly. Instead, he will reach his maximum capacity at a limited level.Ĭhildren with autism cannot develop at an optimal level, where they can learn more readily and develop skills more naturally. ![]() Similarly, if development is not optimized (e.g., pre-requisite skills are taught to mastery, skills are taught at sequential, not just functional order, etc.), the child will not develop at his potential capacity. Optimal development may be better understood when related to how a car functions - for instance, if the engine is not optimized (e.g., broken in when new, regular oil change, etc.), the car will not function as well as it could and it will not last as well as it can. If the basic mechanism for development is not working, children cannot develop at their optimal level. ![]()
