With help from the local health commission and various support groups, a large hospital association — Dalian Women and Children's Medical Group — established the city's first practice base to provide targeted training primarily for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) but also including other kids. The training blends resources from the city's social groups and nonprofit associations.

"We hope to further improve the rehabilitation treatment system for children with ASD in Dalian using local resources," said Wang Daqing, head of the group.
