Aspergers

More than 1 year experience

As a psychologist who has worked with children with special needs, I have a good understanding of what Asperger's Syndrome is. Individuals with Asperger's Syndrome require special education in order for them to assimilate easily into society. Depending on how mild or severe the case is, they would also require some form of behavior modification in order to decrease eccentric behaviors and improve their social and communication skills.
Once I have met with the child and observed the child naturally (during play time, feeding time while he/she interacts with others, I can assess how much help is required and create a personalized plan on the steps that will be taken to improve the child's communication and social skills so that they can fit comfortably into regular schools and succeed academically as well as socially.
My job would also require me to constantly be on the lookout for other conditions that could develop as children with Asperger's syndrome are predisposed to depression, schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder. In a situation where there's co-morbidity, I would provide the relevant treatment for both disorders.
