The ability of a child to learn and achieve in school and life is influenced by their early brain development. The quality of a child’s early experiences, whether favourable or unpleasant, has an impact on how their brain grows. Different parts of the brain control different capacities, such as movement, language, and emotion, and they develop at different speeds. Brain development builds on itself, as connections eventually link with each other in more complex ways. Continue reading

People are often surprised when they hear that autism treatment can start as early as 18 months. Autism is a neurodevelopmental illness that causes a variety of social, communicative, and behavioural difficulties. All of these things make it difficult for the child to function and live a regular life. Abnormal genes, toxins, infections, and maternal effects such as stress and malnutrition all contribute to the brain’s failure to grow correctly during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood. Due to these reasons, the brain is unable to develop in terms of growth and maturity.
Children with special needs have challenges that interfere with their learning. They require support that goes beyond the norm. There are many forms of special needs such as learning, developmental, behavioural challenges. Moreover, these challenges can differ in their severity or in how much they impair learning.
