Early Intervention Is Best;
Children who prefer to be by themselves and who prefer playing with objects than with parents maybe exhibiting autistic behaviours. Such behaviours can have organic or mental causes and may lead to delays in the baby’s development and cause serious disturbances in the family which can spiral into vicious circles of unhappiness. We specialize in early detection (as early as 3 to 6 months) followed by appropriate and effective custom made interventions.
Parents are often the first to see the signs. They realize that their baby:
- Seems slow and avoids contact with their eyes and body
- Is too calm and seems too content and happy by themselves
- Or makes noises and movements which seem out of place and disassociated.
Parents should insist on getting skilled and specialized help as early as their concerns arise. Evidence shows that early interventions can protect developing babies from possible fixation onto autistic behaviors.
Therapies exist to facilitate proper communication and contact. Early intervention with the right therapy can be extremely effective in developing cognitive and emotional capabilities which otherwise would never find expression.
We Work With the Family;
We believe parents and care givers are the best resource to help create an emotional environment conducive to mutual contact.
We Work Intensively;
Parents and their child are assessed both individually and as part of the family. We offer two main forms of treatment:
- Intensive short programme – this consists of six hours of therapeutic intervention a day,
six days a week for a period of 1 to 4 weeks.
- Long term treatment programme – involving 1 to 2 hours daily of individual treatment
We Work At Once;
Our method of therapy has been distilled from 30 years of actual clinical work, studying and observing what methods work best, when and how they work, using input from infant research, neuropsychology, psychoanalysis recent theories of the mind and attachment theory and practice.
For example; We can work effectively with as young as a 2 month old baby we recommend
As soon as you have any doubts to then immediately get a consultation.
An early intervention could save you, your family and your child years of unnecessary misery
