Autism

Community Psychiatric Centers with Dr. John Carosso and Dr. Robert Lowenstein can provide a diverse array of therapies that can help with many common mental and emotional health issues. For example, autism is a tough thing for Pittsburgh, PA, parents to manage in children. It's also something that many adults have to fight in their lives. Here's what you need to know about our therapeutic options, including the importance of early intervention to help streamline this experience.

Early Intervention Is Critical

Most people start showing signs of this condition very early in life in various ways. For example, they might struggle to communicate or show signs of being very self-focused. Early intervention helps spot these symptoms early and helps to direct our treatment process more effectively. 

We'll help you understand these symptoms and create an accurate and meaningful analysis of the situation. Even if you are getting a late-stage diagnosis for potential autistic behaviors, our team will do what we can to ensure that you get the best results possible. Our autism therapies for Pittsburgh, PA, residents will vary based on each person's specific care needs.

Therapies Differ for Each Person 

The complex thing about this condition is that no two people will have the same symptoms, and treatments will necessarily, vary based on this fact. Typically, therapy focuses on things like various types of medicines and other therapies that can reduce certain symptoms. Often, a complex and coherent treatment plan utilizes a variety of therapeutic options, such as:

  • Early Intervention: Getting treatment at a young age can help correct problematic behaviors more quickly and help reinforce behavioral treatment. 
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: This revolutionary treatment helps to reinforce positive behaviors and thoughts and can subtly correct behaviors more efficiently.
  • Joint Attention Therapy: Combined with educational and school-based therapies, this treatment provides your little one with the attention that they need to manage their condition. 

Note that other treatments, such as speech-language therapy, social skills training, parent-mediated therapy, and even physical therapy, can help many people with this condition. The goal of Community Psychiatric Centers and Dr. Carosso and Dr. Lowenstein is to provide the comprehensive recovery model that your children need to minimize serious health problems and live a happy life.
