We focus on addressing causes and symptoms rather than working solely with diagnoses. If your child is exhibiting symptoms of autism, it could be attributed to various underlying reasons. It is important not to feel stuck or discouraged. Frequently, with appropriate therapy and intervention, those same symptoms can be alleviated. However, if you require a formal diagnosis, it is recommended to seek a comprehensive assessment conducted by a qualified healthcare professional.

In many cases, a Speech Therapist and an Occupational Therapist collaborate, as they address different areas that are often interconnected within a specific case. This multidisciplinary approach proves highly beneficial. Whether your child requires additional forms of therapy or not will depend solely on the assessment conducted by a qualified healthcare professional.

When you observe that your child is experiencing a delay in their developmental growth or is unable to perform tasks that their peers can do, it is important to take notice.

The term "Sensory Integration" encompasses the processing, integration, and organization of sensory information originating from both our bodies and the environment. In simpler terms, it refers to how we perceive, interpret, and respond to sensory input or choose to disregard it. Sensory integration plays a crucial role in our everyday activities, including dressing, eating, moving, socializing, learning, and working. It underlies the foundation of these essential daily functions.

Ideally, 3 sessions per week should prove to be effective to achieve the intended goals in a reasonable span of time. However, the frequency of session will differ depending on the severity of each individual case.

Goals will be determined individually according to each child’s condition and the parent’s objectives and priorities.

Your therapist will provide you with appropriate activities, worksheets, and home care plans on a regular basis. These resources will aid in the continuation of progress and development outside of therapy sessions, as well as ensure that the goals set during therapy sessions are maintained over time.

To observe noticeable results, it is essential to continue any form of therapy for a minimum of six months, and in some cases, even multiple years, depending on the individual situation. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that certain progress can often be observed within the first month itself.

Occupational therapy can indeed have a positive impact on your child's academic performance in various subjects, including English and Math. While occupational therapy primarily focuses on addressing the underlying challenges and barriers that affect a child's ability to engage in daily activities, the skills developed through therapy can indirectly contribute to improved academic outcomes. Occupational therapists work on enhancing cognitive skills, attention, concentration, problem-solving abilities, and fine motor skills, all of which are essential for successful engagement in school subjects. Therefore, by addressing these foundational skills, occupational therapy can support your child's academic progress and help them excel in various subjects, including English and Math.
