This study evaluates the early intervention model for autistic children at the Nang Mai Center, aiming to understand the center's early intervention activities and assess its effectiveness and challenges. Additionally, the research seeks to identify the role of social workers in the early intervention model.

Research results highlight the importance of early intervention for children with autism (60% of children participating in the early intervention model at the center were successful and able to integrate into society). Early intervention can prevent risk factors or causes leading to developmental delays or functional disorders. Furthermore, early intervention helps children catch up to normal developmental levels or can prevent the progression of developmental delays. In addition, early intervention reduces the impact of chronic diseases and long-term functional disabilities.

11. Practical applications:

Research has highlighted the role of social work in early intervention for children with autism. In practice, centers could consider adding more professional social workers to their staff to ensure the early intervention model is implemented effectively.
