Difficulties • Limited of staff and supervisor in number and skill comparing to the current needs. • There is not really good cooperation yet among the interdisciplinary team in the program • Difficulties in diagnosis and assessment of skills of children with autism. • Experiencing limitations in intervention strategies for children with autism. • There are still a lack of schools / centers for children with autism to be integrated.
