If you have concerns about your child’s development, behaviour, or learning, understanding possible underlying conditions can be the first step toward support. This section explains common neurodevelopmental and learning conditions in children and highlights the importance of early assessment and intervention.
Austism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how a child understands and interacts with others. The presentation of autism varies widely, which is why it is described as a spectrum. Children with autism can show a wide range of strengths and challenges.
Children with autism may have difficulty understanding social situations, recognising other people’s feelings, and using verbal or non-verbal communication appropriately. This can be seen as preferring to play alone, reduced eye contact, difficulty using words or gestures to communicate, or challenges in responding to others during interaction.
How is autism supported?
Early identification and appropriate therapy can significantly support a autistic child’s development and daily functioning. Intervention is usually individualized and may include speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral support, and parent guidance, depending on the child’s needs.
At our centre, children with autism are supported through individualized assessment and therapy programs, with active involvement of parents throughout the process.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects a child’s ability to pay attention, regulate activity levels, and control impulses. Each child may show different patterns, with some experiencing more inattention and others more hyperactivity or impulsivity.
When these challenges interfere with school performance, social interactions, or emotional wellbeing, professional support can help children develop strategies to manage daily demands more effectively.
