The major areas of concern of most of the parents of Autistic children who come to us are poor cognitive skills, Obsessive compulsive behavior, violence, temper tantrums, hyperactivity, and attention deficit.

Our aim in cases of autistic children is to reduce the hyperactivity, increase the attention span and reduce the sensory issues.
