Autism Intervention Services

Why Early and Structured Intervention Matters in Autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder affects how a child communicates, interacts socially, behaves, and processes sensory information. These differences may appear as early as 12–18 months of age but often go unnoticed or misunderstood. Scientific research consistently shows that early, consistent, and intensive intervention significantly improves outcomes in:

• Language and communication
• Social interaction skills
• Daily living and self-help abilities
• Emotional regulation
• Cognitive flexibility
• Academic readiness

At KhushKids, our Autism Services are based on this principle of “Early Detection — Early Intervention — Lifelong Empowerment.”

Comprehensive, Individualized Intervention Plans

We begin every child’s journey with a detailed assessment conducted by a multi-disciplinary team, including Developmental Pediatricians, Clinical Psychologists, Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Special Educators.

Based on the child’s needs, strengths, and family priorities, we develop an Individualized Intervention Plan (IIP) that addresses:

• Communication Skills — both verbal and non-verbal
• Social Interaction Abilities — making friends, understanding emotions, playing cooperatively
• Behavioral Challenges — managing repetitive behaviors, rigidity, tantrums, or aggression
• Daily Living Skills — feeding, dressing, toileting, grooming
• Cognitive and Academic Skills — attention, problem-solving, basic numeracy and literacy
• Sensory Processing Difficulties — under or over-sensitivity to sound, touch, smell, light, movement

Core Components of Our Autism Intervention Services

• 1. Speech and Language Therapy:
  Developing expressive language (words, phrases, sentences) Enhancing receptive language (understanding instructions, questions) Use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools — Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), communication boards, or speech-generating devices, if needed Teaching pragmatic (social) language skills — greetings, conversations, turn-taking
• 2. Occupational Therapy (OT):
  Improving fine motor skills — holding crayons, using scissors, buttoning shirts Enhancing gross motor skills — balancing, climbing, walking stairs Sensory Integration Therapy — helping the child regulate responses to sensory input (sound, touch, movement) Building self-care abilities — dressing, toileting, grooming
• 3. Behavioral Therapy (ABA-Inspired or Eclectic Behavioral Interventions):
  Reducing challenging behaviors — aggression, self-injury, property destruction Teaching functional replacement behaviors Improving attention span, compliance, waiting, turn-taking Parent training to manage and reduce inappropriate behaviors at home
• 4. Developmental Pediatric Supervision:
  Regular developmental monitoring and medical management Identifying associated conditions (ADHD, epilepsy, anxiety) Growth, nutrition, and sleep assessment
• 5. Special Education / Remedial Support:
  Pre-academic skills (pre-reading, writing, numeracy) Structured teaching using TEACCH principles School readiness programs — adjusting to routines, sitting tolerance, following group instructions Collaboration with mainstream or special schools
• 6. Parent Training and Family Counseling:
  Understanding Autism deeply — its causes, myths, facts, prognosis Guidance on how to communicate, play, and teach at home Emotional support to handle stress, uncertainty, and caregiving challenges Empowering parents to be the child's co-therapist for best outcomes
• 7. Social Skills Training:
  Conducted in one-on-one or small peer group settings Teaching joint attention, sharing, cooperative play, emotion recognition Role-plays, pretend play, turn-taking games
• 8. Sensory Integration Program:
  Designed for children with hyper- or hypo-sensitivities (sound, touch, light, textures) Sensory diet plans and activities that improve regulation and calmness Helping the child cope in daily environments — school, playgrounds, public places

Our Key Principles:

• Individualized Therapy:
  No two children with autism are alike. Each plan is tailored to the child’s developmental profile and family needs.
• One-on-One Dedicated Sessions:
  We follow a strict one child — one therapist norm to maximize engagement, trust, and progress.
• Multi-Disciplinary Integration:
  Speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and developmental pediatricians work closely as a team, ensuring that therapy is comprehensive and consistent across all domains.
• Parent Involvement:
  Therapy does not end in the clinic — parents are guided and trained to continue supportive interventions at home for real-life improvements.
• Goal-Focused, Outcome-Driven:
  We set short-term achievable goals along with long-term development objectives and monitor progress regularly.

Who Should Seek Our Autism Intervention Services?

If your child shows:

• No meaningful words by 18 months
• Poor eye contact or lack of social smile
• Does not respond to name
• Prefers to play alone; does not share interest
• Unusual attachment to routines or objects
• Sensory sensitivities (avoids touch, covers ears to sounds)

…then early evaluation and intervention is essential.

What Makes KhushKids Autism Services Unique?

Child-Centric, Play-Based Approach — Making therapy enjoyable for the child Family-Friendly Environment — Parents always welcome to observe, learn, and participate Evidence-Based Methods — ABA principles, TEACCH, PECS, Hanen approach, Sensory Integration Regular Progress Reviews and Updates — With parents and referring doctors Respect for Every Child’s Potential — Belief that every child can learn, communicate, and connect with the world around them.

Important to Remember:

Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference, not a disease — the right support can unlock the child’s best potential.

No child is “too young” for intervention — the brain is most adaptable in the first 5 years.

Parental involvement and consistency are as critical as professional therapy.

Small daily improvements build big long-term outcomes.
