Should Young Children Attend The Full Day Program?
Some parents raise concerns that their 2 or 3 year old is too young to attend a structured day treatment program 6 hours every day. Typically developing children at that age do spend a lot of time in unstructured activities. However during their unstructured time a typically developing child will be exploring the environment, manipulating toys, and learning from their experiences. In Children with autism unstructured time is often wasted time. The child does not explore their environment or play appropriately with toys or attend to environmental activities. Often the child spends the time engaged in inappropriate behaviors such as self-stimulatory behaviors or aggression.
It has been our experience that within 2-3 days a nap is no longer necessary. The child doesn’t want to take a nap because they have too many other stimulating things to do at the Children’s Autism Center and as a result they sleep better at night.
For those children who truly need a nap during the day, CAC recommends the child participate in the part-time, either 9-12 or 12-3 daily so they can take full advantage of the 1:1 treatment while in attendance.
