Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a condition that affects children any time before the age of three years.
The three main areas affected in children with autism are social interaction, social communication and thought and behavior.
Children with ASD often have average to above average intelligence but have difficulty adapting to their environment which causes them to stand out from others.

ADHD is a condition where children have problems paying attention to tasks; sitting in a place for even short durations; restlessness to wait for their turn to do something; following instructions; finishing school work; etc. This in turn will affect the development of functional skills such as speech, social adjustments, and academic performance.

 Learning Disability (LD)
Learning Disability is an umbrella term for the more commonly known
condition called Dyslexia (difficulty in reading). LD also
includes Dysgraphia (difficulty in writing), Dyscalculia
(difficulty in math), Language Based LD and Nonverbal LD.
Children with Learning Disability need specialized training
and not just extra training (such as tuitions) or more time
or pressure.

Behavioral Issues:
Children of all ages present varied behavioral problems that
often cannot be treated by simply being strict with the child.
These behavioral problems are in fact an expression of some physical, sensory, cognitive-perceptual, social and/or emotional difficulty the child may be facing.
Behavioral issues in children need to be addressed in a structured yet sensitive manner that will bring about a life time change in the child and family.
