Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. It is characterized by a wide range of symptoms and severity levels, hence the term “spectrum.” Individuals with ASD may exhibit challenges in social interaction, repetitive behaviors, sensory sensitivities, and difficulties with communication.

At Rehab Care, we understand the unique needs of individuals with ASD and offer specialized services to support their development and well-being. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to provide comprehensive assessment, therapy, and intervention tailored to each individual’s strengths and challenges.

Through evidence-based approaches, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, occupational therapy, and social skills training, we aim to enhance communication, social interaction, and adaptive skills, promoting independence and quality of life for individuals with ASD.

Milder ASD:

Milder ASD: Milder forms of autism, such as Asperger’s Syndrome, may not have been recognized by doctors or teachers when they were children. On the other hand, most studies show that at least half of the relatives of someone with autism do not have measurable impairments in their social and communication skills or behavior.

Although they share many of the same symptoms, the two are distinct conditions. Autism spectrum disorders are a series of related developmental disorders that can affect language skills, behavior, social interactions, and the ability to learn. ADHD impacts the way the brain grows and develops. And you can have both. Autism spectrum disorder and ADHD are related in several ways. ADHD is not on the autism spectrum, but they have some of the same symptoms.
