Social skills training: Done in a group or individual settings, this intervention helps   children with autism improve their ability to navigate social situations
Speech & language therapy: It can improve the child’s speech patterns and understanding of language

Occupational therapy: This addresses adaptive skills deficits with activities of daily living, as well as problems with handwriting

Parent management training: Parents learn effective ways of responding to problematic behavior and encouraging appropriate behavior in their children. Parent support groups help parents cope with the stressors of raising a child with autism

Special education services: Under an Individual Education Plan provided by their school, which accommodates for their social communication deficits, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors, children with autism can achieve their fullest potential academically. This includes special day classes for very young children to address language, social, and life skills. 

Treating co-occurring conditions: Children with autism experience insomnia, anxiety, and depression more often than peers without autism. They also more often have ADHD. Children with autism may have intellectual disabilities and this needs to be addressed. The impact of these conditions can be reduced with the proper services, which include all of the above, in addition to psychotherapy and/or medication treatment

Medication: A child psychiatrist can evaluate for co-morbid depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. If appropriate medications can be helpful.
