How Can Our Autism Treatment Help?

Autism or autism spectrum disorder refers to a group of neurological and developmental disorders affecting how a person communicates, interacts, learns, and behaves with other people.

Autism can be diagnosed in a person at any age, however, the symptoms of autism can be seen as early as two or three years of age. The following symptoms could indicate that your child may have autism:

  • Problems in communicating with other people
  • Difficulty using and understanding non-verbal forms of communication, such as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, etc.
  • Intense or unusual interests
  • Delay or absence of language development
  • Problems in making relationships
  • Problems due to change in routine
  • Intense or unusual interests
  • Problems with some types of sensory behaviors, for example, aversion to loud noise
  • Repetitive motor skills, like flapping of arms, body rocking, repetitive speech, etc.

The various conditions that are a part of autism spectrum disorder include the following:

  • Asperger’s syndrome: The child has problems related to his or her social skills and a small range of interests in this condition. However, the child usually has average to above-average intelligence.
  • Autistic disorder: This type of disorder affects social interactions, play, and communication skills in a child less than 3 years old.
  • Childhood disintegrative disorder: The child usually has normal development till about two years of age and then loses some or most of his or her communication and social skills after that.
  • Atypical autism or pervasive developmental disorder:The child shows some kind of autistic behavior, like delayed social skills or communication problems, in this type of disorder, but it does not fit into any of the above categories.

There is no treatment for autism. However, some therapies and interventions can help reduce the symptoms associated with the condition and the patient become more adaptive to other people and the environment.

The various techniques and methods used at Butterfly Learnings to manage autism in children include the following:

1. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy

Certain behavioral interventions like ABA therapy can help autistic children by making them realize the consequences of their behavior, encouraging good behaviors, and avoiding harmful or negative behaviors by using reinforcement techniques.

ABA therapy involves rewarding the child for good behavior to encourage the repetition of such behavior in the future. Negative behavior is discouraged to encourage gradual reduction and ultimately stop such behavior.

2. Developmental Therapies

Our therapists will use the following therapy programs to help improve the developmental aspects of the life of your autistic child:

  • Speech therapy: The child’s speech, language, and communication skills can be improved using speech therapy sessions.
  • Occupational therapy: The basic life skills of your autistic child and the ability to perform simple daily tasks like self-feeding, getting dressed, and bathing can be improved using occupational therapy.
  • Physical therapy: Some types of physical therapy exercises may be recommended to help improve the child’s motor skills.

3. Play Therapy

The child’s emotional and social skills can be improved using play therapy. The various techniques used in play therapy are:

  • Floortime play therapy: The therapist will get down on the floor to play with your child in this technique.
  • Joint attention symbolic play engagement and regulation (JASPER): The child will be encouraged to focus on a particular toy or game along with another child or person in this type of therapy. 
  • Integrated play groups: This is a type of play date in which autistic and non-autistic children will be encouraged to play together to see how the autistic child can understand, participate, and adjust with peers.

4. Psychological Therapy

Certain psychological therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy, may be recommended for autistic children having mental health problems like depression and anxiety.

5. Social Skills Development

We use certain child-friendly methods to help improve your child’s social skills and emotional bonds.

7. Educational Skills Development

Some engaging, fun activities and methods will be used by our specialists to help improve the autistic child’s learning skills and school performance.

  • Improves attention
  • Improves speech
  • Improves learning
  • Improves social and communication skills
  • Improves motor skills
  • Improves independence
  • Helps the child learn self-care and basic life skills

Can autism be treated permanently?

Autism does not have any proper treatment and the condition cannot be cured permanently. 

However, some interventions and therapies can help in improving the child’s behavior and general health and well-being.

Some autistic children who undergo early diagnosis and intervention techniques show fewer unwanted behaviors with an increased age and many of them even lead a normal or near-normal life as they become older.

Will insurance cover my child’s autism treatment cost?

While some private insurance agencies in India do not include autism treatment under their insurance coverage, other insurance companies include autism treatment under some special plans up until a particular age. 

You should ideally ask your health insurance company if autism is included in the child’s medical insurance policy, the extent of coverage offered, and to what age it is applicable.

What happens in cases of untreated autism?

Untreated autism can cause challenging behaviors, like meltdowns, self-injury, or extreme aggression in children. These types of behaviors could lead to sensory overload, difficulty of the child in expressing his or her requirements, frustration due to limited communication and social skills, and difficulty in leading a normal life. 

The skilled therapists at Butterfly Learnings offer autism treatment sessions based on your child’s needs and requirements to help the child lead a healthy and improved quality of life.
