Autism
What is Autism?
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, behaves, and interacts with others. People with autism may have different ways of learning, paying attention, and understanding the world around them.
Why Does Autism Occur?
Autism doesn’t have a single known cause. It’s believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as:
Family history of autism
Brain development differences
Complications during birth or pregnancy
Certain infections or toxins during early development
How Can Autism Be Managed?
Focuses on improving communication, learning, and positive behaviors. It helps individuals manage emotions and adapt better to social situations.
Speech therapy enhances language, pronunciation, and expression, while occupational therapy improves daily life skills, coordination, and independence.
Tailored learning plans designed to meet each child’s unique needs, helping them learn at their own pace with specialized teaching methods.
Parents play a key role in progress; training and counseling help them understand how to support their child’s development at home and in everyday activities.
