ABSTRACT
As people approach a new era of precision medicine aiming at a personalized assessment and treatment of the patient, interventions to remediate autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will greatly benefit. The methods of practice in the United States are limited when used in isolation, but a comprehensive integrative approach to therapy, one that combines multiple interventions with diverse philosophies and tailors the treatment to the child's longitudinal progression, will be possible with the new methods developed by basic researchers. The new technological advances in wearable sensors and wellness and fitness devices for mobile-health concepts are beginning to be translated for use in neurodevelopmental disorders at large. Owing to the fast rate of growth and stunted development during the early years of life of infants with neurodevelopmental disorders, these new approaches will be critical for cases that develop ASD. They provides the types of longitudinally oriented outcome measures that insurance companies currently desire to provide coverage for diversification of therapies in ASD.
