Effective Autism Training Strategies and Early Signs to Watch For
Children on the autism spectrum often face unique challenges in communication, social interactions, and learning. At Brain Pointe, we provide specialized cognitive training programs to address these core issues and help children build the skills they need to thrive.
Common Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
-
Repetitive Behaviors
Children with ASD often engage in repetitive actions or have specific rituals they follow. -
Need for Routine
A preference for routines and difficulty adapting to changes in daily schedules is common. -
Challenges with Social Skills
Many children on the spectrum struggle to form friendships and have difficulty with social interactions. -
Problems with Eye Contact
Difficulty maintaining eye contact is a typical symptom, making social communication harder. -
Difficulty Understanding Nonverbal Cues
Struggling to read body language, facial expressions, and other nonverbal signals can impact social relationships. -
Focused Interest in One Area
Children with ASD may have an intense focus on one specific subject or activity, often to the exclusion of others. -
Sensitivity to Sensory Stimuli
Children may be overly sensitive to light, sound, taste, smell, or touch, which can cause discomfort in certain environments. -
Normal to High IQ with Special Abilities
Many children with ASD have average or above-average intelligence and may excel in a specific area, such as math or music.
Our BrainRx program is tailored to meet the needs of students on the autism spectrum, including those with Asperger’s and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). By focusing on strengthening key cognitive skills, such as attention, memory, reading fluency and problem-solving, we aim to treat the underlying causes of learning difficulties, not just the symptoms.
