The core deficits of autism are always being targeted at the Autism Center and
the core deficits of
Autism being communication and social deficits
as well as the problem stereotyped and repetitive behaviors.
We conduct evaluation to determine the presents for the autism spectrum disorder
we can see clients from birth to age
18 so anyone in the pediatric age range
is a client of ours.
After receiving an autism diagnosis a family may feel confused they may be looking for answers as to why their
child has autism.
What is autism? A lot of families are looking for
treatment for their child.
We have had a number of parents report that the quality of life has improved for their child with autism.
As a parents you know you want to
help your child in any way you can and we didn't have any place to go
until we came down here and this has pretty well been our base
to work with Caleb from the beginning and
starting out from here and going to the different places getting help.
When we were first given
Caleb's diagnosis of autism our first thought is,
where are we going to find some place to get him help,
we live in a rural area and there is not people that specialize in autism
just around the corner, you know.
My relationship with Caleb has
has definitely gotten a lot stronger, I feel like I am a lot closer to him.
Joshua enjoys coming to the Autism Center
everyday I hear SIU
and he is ready to go, he he loves coming here,
he loves people the clinicians,
he forms a very good bond but this clinician every semester.
The progress that Josh has made is that he can talk to us and tell us what he wants what he needs
he just able to communicate better he
he is actually interacting with peers, he is playing
his player is normal for a child.
