 Autism significantly affects verbal and non-verbal communication and social interaction, it causes restricted repetitive behaviors, interests and activities that has an adversely impact on the child’s educational performance. 

There’s actually a long list of expenses that come along with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in a child, to be provided by the parents, as these children actually need appropriate education, special therapy sessions, in the absence of public services or funds.

Our  multi-disciplinary  team will assess your child and create a customized educational plan that's right for him. We understand the importance of educating you on the most effective ways to take care of your child, so that he can improve as much as possible. 

We strive to help your child improve the quality of his life, achieve better goals, to have a better future. Children at our center will benefit from an IEP Individualized Educational Program.
