Who do we help?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social communication, interaction with others, and may involve repetitive or stereotyped behaviors. It typically appears in early childhood, and its severity and symptoms can vary widely among children. Children with autism may struggle to understand social cues such as facial expressions and body language, and face various sensory challenges that affect their daily activities.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Children with ADHD often have difficulty focusing, sitting still, and controlling their behavior. They may be constantly in motion, act impulsively, or become easily distracted. These challenges can affect both academic performance and social relationships.

Intellectual Disability
Children with intellectual disabilities face difficulties in learning, thinking, and problem-solving compared to their peers. They require additional support in daily skills such as communication, play, learning, and self-care.

Global Developmental Delay
This condition refers to delays in acquiring essential skills such as walking, talking, or learning. It affects multiple areas of development, including cognition, motor skills, communication, and daily living skills.

Social Communication Disorder
Children with this disorder struggle to use language appropriately in social settings. They may find it difficult to understand jokes or follow conversational rules, such as taking turns while speaking.

Selective Mutism
Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder in which a child can speak comfortably in familiar environments, such as at home, but remains silent in other social settings like classrooms or family gatherings. This silence stems from fear or anxiety, not stubbornness or refusal to communicate. It often appears when a child enters a new environment and requires psychological support and gradual training to communicate confidently.

Tourette Syndrome
This syndrome causes repeated, involuntary movements or sounds known as “tics.” These may include eye blinking, vocalizations, or sudden word repetitions.

Motor Coordination Disorder / Dyspraxia
Children with this disorder struggle with both fine and gross motor skills, such as running, drawing, or using tools. It is caused by difficulties in the brain’s motor planning system, leading to challenges in coordination.

Learning Difficulties
Children with learning difficulties face challenges in reading, writing, or math despite their efforts. These issues stem from how the brain processes information, affecting cognitive skills, memory, and academic performance, and sometimes language development.

Language Disorders
Children with language disorders experience difficulties in understanding, producing, or using language correctly. They may struggle with sentence formation, word choice, or pronunciation.

Stuttering
Stuttering is a speech fluency disorder that makes it difficult for a child to speak smoothly, often causing repetitions, prolongations, or sudden pauses. It may result from genetics, stress, or delayed development of certain brain regions responsible for speech.

Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)
Children with NVLD have difficulty understanding nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions and body language. While their verbal communication may be clear, they struggle with social interaction and organization, and benefit from specialist support to develop social skills.

Behavioral Disorders
Children with behavioral disorders may exhibit aggressive or socially inappropriate actions, such as harming others or damaging property. These behaviors are not simply mischief but require professional intervention.

Sensory Processing Disorders
These disorders involve difficulties in interpreting and responding to sensory information from the environment, such as sounds, touch, or smells. Children may overreact or underreact to everyday sensory stimuli, requiring therapy and an adapted environment to improve sensory processing.

Down Syndrome
This genetic condition results in delayed physical and intellectual development. Children with Down syndrome often have distinct physical features and learn at a slower pace than their peers.

Fragile X Syndrome
A genetic disorder that affects a child’s intellectual and social development. Children with fragile X may experience delayed speech, learning difficulties, and challenges in social communication.

Prader-Willi Syndrome
A genetic condition affecting appetite, growth, and learning. Children may experience constant hunger, muscle weakness, and developmental delays.

Epilepsy
A neurological disorder that causes recurrent seizures due to abnormal brain activity. Seizures vary in type and severity, potentially affecting movement, sensation, or consciousness. Children with epilepsy require ongoing medical care and sometimes medication to control seizures.
