At 4 and a half years old, Raiyan was formally diagnosed to have autism spectrum disorder by a child psychologist from ISADD, Australia. This is despite not having received a diagnosis from the Child Development Centre since he was 2.
Nevertheless, we are still very thankful to have discovered this in time as it is a known fact that early intervention (any time between 18 months to 7 years) is crucial for the progressive development of a child with ASD.
We feel very fortunate to have found Learning Ladders Society who :
a) Helped connect us to ISADD to get the official diagnosis;
b) Educated us immensely on this rising epidemic; and
c) Gave proper guidance on the available therapy for Raiyan.
Alhamdulillah, after just 2 weeks of undergoing Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) Therapy, we saw miraculous improvements within Raiyan.
Through this blog, we hope to show everyone what a vast difference early intervention can make along with the importance of a properly guided and managed therapy programme that is based on proven scientific evidence and caters specifically for the individual child.
