Early Intervention and Comprehensive Evaluation for Children

---

MN-ADDM found that in parts of Hennepin and Ramsey counties, 1 in 42 children were identified with ASD. Boys were 4.6 times more likely to be identified with ASD than girls.

Children can be diagnosed as early as 18 months old, but the average age of diagnosis in Minnesota is 4 years and 9 months. 

Research shows that certain early intervention treatment strategies can improve a child’s developmental trajectory and help manage symptoms. The earlier treatment and intervention begins, the more effective the outcomes.  

MAPS is committed to helping families access services within the community after a comprehensive evaluation is completed. Our team partners with several community providers that offer EIDBI services, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and feeding therapy.
