April 2nd is the "World Autism day". Yesterday, reporters came to a special children's rehabilitation center in the calendar District, and volunteers walked into the life of the autistic child together with the volunteers. Inner loneliness, but with people's understanding of autism, this group of people is gradually being concerned by all sectors of society. The reporter has learned from the provincial rehabilitation center that there are few medical institutions for the rehabilitation of children in Ji'nan, and the private rehabilitation centers are picking up the beam. The cost of rehabilitation is high and the efficiency is slow. Many families bear a huge burden. They are calling for the inclusion of autism into the medical insurance.
reporter learned that in Ji'nan, there are few rehabilitative institutions for autistic children, and many children get to school age and will be shut out of the school because they can't get along with others. Education for children with autism must be considered a patient work. Snow is a rehabilitation center teacher, she is in the class of five children, age, "we are here in accordance with the child's condition of the light weight to divide the class, even if the age is not the same, may learn something is similar. For example, some children are already seven or eight years old, but they still can't eat their own meals. A simple gesture of holding a pen may be repeated for a month.
reporter interviewed the director of Yu Wen Yan of the provincial rehabilitation center, she said, at present, in the province, the private rehabilitation center can account for more than half. "The Ministry of health of the state issued a diagnostic guide for autism in 2009. Our country started very late, the diagnosis is a gateway, autism is different from the others. The process of diagnosis is rather troublesome. Once diagnosis is lifelong, long-term rehabilitation is needed. And in some hospitals, only the ability to diagnose, but not the ability to carry out rehabilitation training, according to the investigation, now the private rehabilitation center is picking up the beam, if there is no government support, they are mostly in a state of loss.
Second, the cost of recovery is also the biggest problem at present. "Autism is still terrible, high pay, slow effect, and need to be rehabilitative, but more than 95% of these years can be effective." Of course, the effect is particularly obvious, or the most ideal, can enter the Pu Pu small children can account for 10%, should be relatively low. But the effect is more than 30%. Many families do not have the ability to bear such a high cost for a long time. The Provincial Federation has just launched "the implementation of salvage assistance for disabled children aged 0 to 6 years old in Shandong", but the ability is limited, and we are now calling for the rehabilitation of autism into medical insurance.
