Abstract

The article examines the status of early intervention and the management of early intervention activities on 10 administrators, 40 teachers and 55 parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Hoa Binh City. The paper reports the findings of a study on the status of early intervention at specialized facilities in Hoa Binh City. The majority of the facilities obtained certain effects during the intervention process, but the quality is still lacking, growth and long-term influence on the development process. Furthermore, the management of early intervention initiatives is still fraught with issues, posing significant challenges in the implementation process. On that premise, the author draws several lessons acquired in order to achieve high management efficiency.
