Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy
Evidence-based behavioral intervention focusing on positive reinforcement to improve communication, social skills, and reduce challenging behaviors. Typically delivered by trained therapists in structured sessions.
Lifestyle modification and dietary intervention
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Structured Daily Routine
Implementation of consistent daily schedules with visual supports to reduce anxiety and improve predictability for individuals with autism.
Additional treatment options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Structured psychotherapy helping individuals identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with ASD symptoms.
psychologicalNutritional Assessment and Support
Comprehensive dietary evaluation to address common nutritional concerns including food selectivity and GI issues common in ASD populations.
dietarySensory Integration Therapy
Occupational therapy approach addressing sensory processing differences through controlled exposure to sensory stimuli to improve regulation.
