No, we do not give formal diagnoses. If you have concerns about your child’s development or behavior, a Diagnostic Evaluation can be scheduled. This Evaluation can then be brought to your child’s paediatrician or child psychologist/psychiatrist to be used as a Professional Recommendation for Diagnosis.

The costs for therapy can be covered in a variety of ways. In most cases, the local city government covers some of the therapy costs. Services can also be covered privately.

ABA is the only evidence-based therapeutic treatment that is recognised as an effective and safe method for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and has been endorsed by a number of agencies, including the U.S. Surgeon General, the American Psychological Association, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. A number of studies have shown that ABA is an evidence-based practice that can help to build a variety of skills while decreasing challenging behaviors at the same time.

ABA can be used to teach a number skills and behaviors. This includes academic skills, participating in extra-curricular activities, addressing speech difficulties, accomplishing family-centered goals (e.g. sitting at the dinner table, engaging in family activities, etc.) and addressing problem behaviors (e.g. tantrums, biting, head banging, etc.).
