Abstract

In the context of increasing recongnition and diagnosis of developmental disorders in children within mainstream schools, there appears a pressing need to develop multidisciplinary approaches in intervention to meet the needs of a large client group. Using social work case management in recovery and school integration of children with developmental disorders, helps maximize the effects of different types of therapies which addresses this pathology. The case study in this article presents a structured intervention model in the case management of a child diagnosed with mild autistic spectrum disorder and a working model for a multidisciplinary approach in recovery and school integration.
