Early Identification and Assessment

​

Babies develop in unique ways and there is much variety among individuals. Not every normal child exactly meets their developmental milestones by a specific age as suggested in parenting books. But children with ASD usually show some signs of delay in language skills and social interactions around the age of two. If parents are concerned about their child's development or suspect that their child is showing signs associated with the disorder, it is time to seek professional assessment and consultation. Should there be a problem, the earlier it is recognized and addressed the better the outcome.

 

In our clinic, in addition to reports from parents and teachers, we assess a child through both traditional methods of psychological assessment and brain mapping (QEEG assessment).

Within the spectrum, children exhibit a wide range of behavioral, social and cognitive symptoms and no two ASD children are the same. QEEG assessment is particularly useful for it allows us to examine the underlying brain wave pattern of the child and to design an individualized training program that is unique for the child. There is certainly no one size fits all training program.
