The aim of “Treatment” is to ameliorate symptoms to improve behavior without blunting the cognition. We aim at the development of a self- supportive individual, at least by the age of 18 to effectively address the GLOBAL parental anxiety “What happens to our child after US”.
The DOAST Integrated therapy for Autism is a ‘Treatment guided research’ to address this global concern.
The assessing prognostic parameters are practical and applicable on different environments. Significantly they are designed to overcome the cultural and society variables. Neurophysiologically it is designed to gauge the evolution of development of connectivity loops which are possibly the core deficit in autism.
