Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a child communicates, interacts with others, and experiences the world around them. Every child on the spectrum is unique — strengths, challenges, and needs vary widely.
Some children may also present with a Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profile, characterized by an anxiety-driven need to resist everyday demands and expectations. Understanding these nuances is essential for effective therapy.
At Noor Pediatric Therapy, we see the whole child — not just a diagnosis. Our approach builds on your child's natural interests and strengths while gently supporting areas where they need help.
Signs & Symptoms to Watch For
How Therapy Helps
Occupational therapy helps children with autism develop sensory regulation strategies, fine motor skills, self-care independence, emotional regulation, and the ability to participate in daily routines and school activities.
Speech therapy supports communication development — whether through spoken language, augmentative communication, social pragmatics, or a combination of approaches tailored to your child.
We use evidence-based approaches including sensory integration therapy, structured teaching strategies, visual supports, and play-based interventions — always centered around your child's unique interests and motivations.
When to Seek Help
Consider reaching out to a pediatric therapist if:
- Your child has difficulty communicating their needs or engaging in conversation
- Sensory sensitivities interfere with daily activities or cause distress
- Your child struggles with transitions, routines, or new situations
- Self-care tasks like dressing, eating, or grooming are challenging
- Your child has difficulty playing with peers or making friends
- You notice regression or stalling in developmental milestones
