Every child has an individualized medical and therapeutic plan which is constantly revised to assure the best results.
What is Autism?
Autism is defined as a developmental disorder that affects three main areas.
- Speech
- Socialization
- Produces repetitive or stereotyped behavior
Most often, the child presents with normal development in the first months of life, and then at about 1-3 years of age the child loses language, visual contact, and socialization skills.
Autism can present in degrees of severity and for these reasons, it has been divided into three types: I, II, and III. It can be associated with other genetic conditions. Traditional recommended treatments consist of therapy and medication.
Traditional Autism Therapies & Treatments
- Speech Therapy – Helps your child learn language and speech skills for their everyday communication
- Occupational Therapy – Helps your child learn to do day-to-day activities like brushing their hair, eating independently, improve motor skills, and learning positive behaviors.
- Sensory Therapy – Involves exercises that engage all 5 senses to expose your child to sensory stimulation which helps children learn to adapt and react to different sensations and situations.
