Autism intervention must be part of national plan, says Rosmah


PUTRAJAYA: Intervention must be part of a national plan that ensures every family from every community has access to quality, affordable health care and services across the lifespan of a person with autism, said the prime minister's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.

She said a comprehensive strategy must include input from researchers, policymakers, educators, and caregivers to cover a wide range of issues, including training of skilled personnel such as psychiatrists, psychologists, paediatricians, therapists, and early interventionists.
