At Pediatricz Now, we know that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can present unique challenges for kids and their families. Autism affects how a child’s brain develops, impacting their social skills, communication, and behavior. Children with autism might have trouble understanding social cues, making eye contact, or dealing with changes in routine.
Our team of pediatricians is committed to helping children with autism thrive by providing care that meets their individual needs. We understand that autism can affect many areas of life, including learning, friendships, and family dynamics.
We believe in spotting signs of autism early. Our evaluation process includes:
Watching how your child plays and interacts
Checking their developmental milestones
Reviewing their health history
Doing a thorough physical exam
Using special autism screening tools
Talking with parents about the child’s behavior at home
Working with autism specialists when needed
This careful approach helps us understand your child’s unique needs and ensure an accurate diagnosis. Remember, autism looks different in every child, so getting a professional evaluation is important.
Once we diagnose autism, we work closely with you to create a care plan tailored to your child. Our approach may include:
Recommending therapies like speech therapy, occupational therapy, or applied behavior analysis (ABA)
Helping your child develop social and communication skills
Teaching strategies to manage challenging behaviors
Showing parents how to support their child’s development at home
Connecting you with special education services and support groups
Addressing any related medical issues, like sleep problems or anxiety
We know that caring for a child with autism is an ongoing journey. We’ll have regular check-ups to see how your child is progressing and adjust the plan as needed. This might mean trying new therapies or changing strategies as your child grows. We also work with your child’s school and other caregivers to ensure everyone uses consistent approaches.
