In plain words

The state has built a rehabilitation assistance system for disabled children and children with autism aged 0 to 6, covering surgery, assistive devices and rehabilitation training. Assistance goes first to families in difficulty, and where local finances allow, the age and family-income conditions can be relaxed. This stretch is the window when rehabilitation works best, so don't put it off until school age. The facility must be chosen from the Disabled Persons' Federation's list of designated providers.
