Our Brooklyn speech therapy center works with many families with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum. Our work goes much further than just understanding the autism spectrum itself and its associated behaviors. Our Brooklyn speech therapists work with individual clients to understand the individual's strengths and weaknesses, and to build upon existing strengths to reach the speech, language , and pragmatic (social aspects of language) goals.
Today's NY TIMES has an interesting article called "How To Think About The Risk Of Autism", by the neuroscientist Sam Wang from Princeton University. One of the most important arguments he makes is about the environmental causes of autism. He mentions that " although autism has a gene-based beginning, growing brains are also influenced by their environment and external events." The article also discusses the crucial need for "social experiences" during the critical period of a child's development.
