Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication and social interaction, with varying degrees of severity from child to child. Children with autism face challenges in their ability to communicate with others and understand social contexts. Addressing autism requires a multi-faceted approach, including behavioral, linguistic, and social rehabilitation.
At Dr. Abdulrahman Al Habib Rehabilitation Center, we provide specialized programs for dealing with autism based on scientific methods like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This therapy helps children learn new skills and improve unwanted behaviors. An individualized treatment plan is designed for each child according to their unique needs, with regular progress monitoring and plan adjustments as needed.
One of the primary goals of autism rehabilitation programs is to improve the child’s ability to communicate effectively with others. This may involve developing verbal skills or using alternative communication methods such as sign language or assistive technologies. Additionally, sessions focus on improving social interaction and fostering independence.
It’s worth noting that rehabilitation is not just for the child but also includes the family. By involving parents in the process and providing them with appropriate guidance, faster and more sustainable progress can be achieved. We hold guiding sessions for parents to help them follow up on progress and apply therapeutic activities at home.
