Hundreds of babies aged between nine to 14 months old with early signs of autism will get preferable developmental support as part of the two new government-funded intervention programs. 
About 1,500 vulnerable babies and their families from a diverse range of backgrounds will be able to participate in this program, which aims to address developmental concerns not being discovered early enough.
