  1. HOW AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER SHOULD BE TREATED? Cross River Therapy

  2. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a brain development disorder that affects how an individual perceives and interacts with others, resulting in social interaction and communication issues. Small and repeated patterns of action are also part of the condition. In autism spectrum disorder, the word "spectrum" refers to the broad variety of symptoms and severity.

  3. Autism spectrum disorder manifests itself in early childhood and leads to difficulties in social, educational, and occupational settings. Autism signs appear in infants as early as the first year of life. A small percentage of children tend to develop normally in the first year, but then regress between the ages of 18 and 24 months, when they begin to show signs of autism. Although autism spectrum disorder has no cure, comprehensive, early therapy can make a significant difference in the lives of many children.

  4. The aim of therapy is to improve your child's ability to cope by reducing symptoms of autism spectrum disorder and promoting growth and learning. Early intervention in your child's preschool years will aid in the development of important cognitive, communication, functional, and behavioural skills.

  5. The variety of autism spectrum disorder therapies and interventions available at home and in schools may be daunting, and your child's needs can change over time. Your health care professional will suggest solutions and point you in the right direction for local services.

  6. Some of the treatment options include: 1.Behaviour and communication therapies ABA is one of the most commonbehavioural therapy. Via a reward-based incentive method, applied behaviour analysis (ABA) can help children develop new skills and generalise them to a variety of circumstances. 2.Educational therapies Children with ASD mostly respond well to educational therapies which include high skilled specialists and activities to deal with the person.

  7. 1.Family therapies Parents and other family members should learn to play and communicate with their children in ways that foster social interaction skills, handle problem behaviours, and teach everyday life skills and communication to their children. 2.Medications There are no specific medications for autism but some medications can be used to control it.

  8. Autism Spectrum treatment should be provided to every individual. Children with autism spectrum disorder typically continue to learn and compensate for problems throughout life, but most will continue to require some level of support.
