They usually start with ABA (applied behavior analysis) and perhaps occupational therapy and speech therapy. It's fairly intensive at an early age because early intervention can make a huge difference. Therapists are coming in and out of your house or child's classroom a few times a day.

Rather than training a child you can actually make it natural for them. Even after 3 there is a tremendous value to these therapies... it's never too late.
