Autism is known under such terms as infantile autism, Kanner’s syndrome, early childhood autism, autism spectrum disorder, etc.
The word “autism” means self-absorbedness. It was first used by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911, and around 1940, other psychiatrists began using it actively. At that time, a basic treatment program had already been developed to eliminate the symptoms of the disease. At the end of the 19th century, thanks to the work of medical scientists, a classification of autism was compiled and is still used today.
Treatment of autism spectrum disorder
If previously the course of therapy was primitive and implemented in a psychiatric hospital, now children can undergo complex treatment in a regular clinic. The pathology is quite multifarious, so different approaches are used to suppress its manifestations: physiotherapeutic, psychological, socialising, and developmental. The set of methods is similar in developed countries around the world. Europeans tend to undergo therapy in clinics that use new, experimental methods of treatment along with classical ones. Such countries include Israel, Germany, and France; however, medical institutions in Georgia offer more affordable prices while maintaining the same quality level of medical services as in the above-mentioned countries.
Modern treatment of autism in Georgia
The capital of the country is home to several leading clinics with modern equipment that provide high-quality treatment for childhood autism, and therefore their doctors are popular with the citizens. A few more good reasons are:
- Use of innovative treatment.
- Affordable prices for the average European.
- Advantageous territorial location of Georgia and favourable border crossing rules.
Goals and results of therapeutic intervention
Treatment is aimed at reducing the intensity and severity of pathology symptoms and helping a child become socially active, communicative, and able to learn. After a therapy program is implemented, 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. Due to stimulation of the brain, speech becomes intelligible and meaningful.
