What is Child ASD?
ASD, or autism spectrum disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition typically diagnosed in childhood, affecting brain development. It is a spectrum disorder, encompassing a wide range of symptoms and severity.
At Kove, we recognise that every child diagnosed with autism is on the spectrum, and our approach acknowledges the unique needs of each individual.
Symptoms leading to Autism assessment and intervention
Recognising the symptoms of autism in children is pivotal for early intervention.
Common signs include:
Difficulties in social interaction
Communication challenges
Repetitive behaviours
Sensitivity to sensory stimuli
Our experts emphasise the importance of seeking professional evaluation if you observe these signs in your child.
Assessment Process at Kove
We utilise gold-standard tools for autism diagnosis.
The Autism Diagnostic Schedule (ADOS-2) and Autism Diagnostic Interview (ADI) guide our assessment, involving time with the child, parents, and gathering information from relevant sources.
Our multidisciplinary team ensures a thorough evaluation against internationally recognised criteria (DSM-5), leading to a precise diagnosis.
Holistic Treatment Approach
A diagnosis and treatment plan become necessary when symptoms impact day-to-day functioning.
Effective treatment enhances day-to-day functioning, and at Kove, we adopt a holistic approach. We set goals, involve necessary professionals, and consider adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) tailored to your child’s specific ASD symptoms.
Our commitment extends to identifying ASD-friendly environments, promoting inclusivity within our communities.
