I want to thank all the medical staff of the Mardaleishvili clinic, in which on 6 June 2019 we received treatment of autism. My daughter is 6 years old and at the age of 3 we were diagnosed with autism.
Autism is an autistic spectrum disorder, a complex psychological disturbance that is evident in a child’s indifference to the outward environment and parents and in the child’s immersion in their own inner world.
On the surface, the disorder manifests itself in the fact that a child does not want to communicate with others, has no emotional contact with relatives, has a very limited range of interests, has dysfunctional speech and motor capabilities, and has impaired brain activity.
According to statistics, autism of varying severity is diagnosed in 2% of children. Today, this disease is completely incurable, but the life of a child can be greatly improved in the future with the help of the right treatment program.
Classic methods of autism treatment:
Physiotherapy presents methods of influencing the patient’s body with magnetic treatment, laser radiation, ultrasound, and various physical exercises that normalise motor activity.
Psychological correction is the stimulation of the brain and the activation of areas with arrested development.
Developmental education includes psychological methods, practices, and mental exercises designed for assimilation of the information that is necessary in later life, for self-service skills and learning, etc.
Social-psychological adaptation is work with a psychotherapist aimed at expanding a child’s range of interests, learning about the outside world, and establishing interpersonal relationships.
Drug therapy eliminates symptoms of the disease, such as insomnia, anxiety, aggression, apathy, low brain activity, etc.
Sanatorium-resort rehabilitation is prescribed to strengthen the immune system and maintain the results of treatment.
Goals and results of therapeutic intervention
Treatment is aimed at reducing the intensity and severity of the pathological symptoms and helping a child become socially active, sociable, and capable of learning. As a result of the implemented therapy program, a child perceives and assimilates new information more easily. Also, positive changes occur in the process of establishing control over the body and actions as a child develops self-care skills. Through stimulation of the brain, speech becomes clear and meaningful.
Start treatment for your child’s autism spectrum disorder at the proper time, and you will be sure to achieve the maximum possible therapeutic effect!
