Additional treatment options
Structured environmental modifications
Environmental adaptations including consistent routines, sensory accommodations, and structured learning environments to support individuals with autism spectrum features.
lifestyleNutritional support and monitoring
Monitoring and management of feeding difficulties, food selectivity, and weight concerns through nutritional counseling and specialized feeding programs when needed.
dietaryNeurodevelopmental surveillance
Regular monitoring of developmental progress, behavioral changes, and emergence of new symptoms through structured follow-up with developmental pediatric specialists.
