Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Spectrum Disorders encompass a range of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.

Our Autism clinic in Chicago and Westmont, IL, specializes in understanding the complexities of ASD and tailoring individualized treatment plans to address the unique needs of each person.

Through evidence-based interventions, we aim to improve social and communication skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and enhance overall quality of life.

Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorders

Recognizing the signs of Autism Spectrum Disorders is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment. Some common signs to look out for include:

• Impaired social interaction: Difficulty in maintaining eye contact, limited interest in peer relationships, and challenges in understanding and responding to social cues.
• Communication difficulties: Delayed or absent speech development, repetitive or unusual use of language, and challenges in initiating and maintaining conversations.
• Repetitive behaviors and restricted interests: Engaging in repetitive movements or actions, preoccupation with specific objects or topics, and resistance to change.

Sensory Processing Disorders

Sensory Processing Disorders refer to difficulties in receiving and interpreting sensory information from the environment. Individuals with SPD may overreact or underreact to sensory stimuli, leading to challenges in daily functioning.

We specialize in addressing the unique sensory needs of individuals with SPD through targeted interventions and sensory integration therapy.

Signs of Sensory Processing Disorders

Identifying the signs of Sensory Processing Disorders can help in seeking appropriate treatment and support. Some common signs include:

• Over-responsivity: Hypersensitivity to sensory input, such as loud noises, bright lights, or certain textures, leading to avoidance or distress.
• Under-responsivity: Difficulty in registering or responding to sensory stimuli, resulting in reduced awareness of one's surroundings.
• Sensory seeking: Constant need for sensory input, such as excessive touching, chewing, or seeking movement.
