đ§Š MULTIDISCIPLINARY AUTISM CARE: A HOLISTIC APPROACH
In 2026, autism therapy is increasingly focused on individualized, neurodiversity-affirming, multidisciplinary strategies. This means bringing together different specialists to support the whole person.
â
Speech therapy: Enhances expressive and receptive language skills, improving communication.

Technology: AI tools and teletherapy are expanding access and providing innovative support.
đĄ Conferences like UCLA's Advances in Autism highlight evidence-based care, while Stanford's Autism Update explores AI for social communication.
