Nghe An Children's Hospital screens children for autism in Quynh Luu

(Baonghean.vn) -In order to detect and intervene promptly, increasing the effectiveness of treatment for children with autism, from May 8 to 9, Nghe An Children's Hospital sent a working group of neuropsychiatric specialists to Quynh Luu to screen and detect children with autism.

Autism in children has appeared in our country for more than ten years, but has only been named in recent years and is increasing rapidly in children under 6 years old. If not detected and treated promptly, the disease will affect the child's neurological health, brain development and future, preventing integration into the community and limiting the child's play.

During the 2 days, the working group divided into 3 groups to examine 12 communes and kindergartens in Quynh Luu. The communes and kindergartens made a list of children showing signs of autism, doctors will screen children under 24 months old in the communes and children from 2 to 5 years old in the kindergartens, children with the disease will be treated according to the autism protocol.
