Autism Support for Children
When your child was diagnosed with autism, you likely had mixed feelings. A diagnosis can offer relief, but it can also be daunting.
With the right support, you can help your child live a full life, and learn how to better manage how you and the rest of the family traverse the challenges.
What Is Autism Support For Children?
Autism support for children at Phinity Birmingham aims to help children who experience autism, manage their symptoms, wherever they lie on the autism spectrum, whether they experience mild or severe autism, or Asperger’s.
The experience of autism will be different for each child, and it can sometimes be different for girls, compared with boys. Autism support will help your child to experience their symptoms in less disruptive ways, to help them improve socialising, and their abilities to communicate and interact with others.
They may be limited in ways, for example, not having many hobbies or interests and feeling the need to repeat behaviours. All of these things contribute to their overall wellbeing and experience of life. Autism support for children aims to help your child build their world, such that they can take enjoyment and feel included.
About Autism Support for Children At Phinity Birmingham
At this time, we do not test for autism, however we can help support your child therapeutically if they have a diagnosis.
For example, we offer psychological treatment for autism in the form of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This entails understanding your child’s thoughts and feelings, and how these impact their behaviour and overall wellbeing. This will also enlighten to areas which may benefit from the attention. For example, communication skills, social interaction skills, imaginative play skills, and academic skills. The aim is to help your child develop their strengths and talents.
It is about helping your child live with autism in the best way possible, by gaining skills, and confidence as they progress through life. Your child can learn to live a happier life. We recommend weekly therapy sessions, which last 50 minutes.
