The Swiss National Council has decided to fund early intervention programs for children with severe autism, allowing the IV to cover significant costs. Programs like those at the GSR Autism Center in Aesch focus on essential communication skills, enabling children to learn through tailored environments. This pilot project is set to transition into permanent funding, pending approval from the Ständerat. The initiative emphasizes the importance of familial involvement and a supportive learning atmosphere to foster development in autistic children.
