AI Article Synopsis
- The first year of a baby's life is crucial for brain development and is a key period to identify any developmental issues.
- Early screening for anomalies can help, particularly in families with a history of autism, allowing for timely interventions.
- Public health systems may benefit economically and socially by implementing specialized training for healthcare professionals to address these developmental needs effectively.
Article Abstract
A baby's first year of life is a time of immense development and cerebral plasticity. Following today's research and clinical observation, the period of the first year of life provides a new challenge inasmuch it is presently clear that it is possible to identify developmental anomalies in this window of time. Effecting early screening procedures could prove very useful, especially where we find genetic vulnerabilities in brothers and sisters of autistic subjects. Interventions of this kind, already practiced by some Public Health systems, can mean taking early action and primary protective measures with significant impacts not only on the subjects (babies and family members) concerned, but also on the public purse. It is, therefore, essential to provide for specific professionalized procedures for psychologists, pediatricians and neuropsychologists to be introduced through personnel highly specialized in interventions during the first year of life.
