Aspergers
Syndrome
The Learning Breakthrough Program™ addresses brain processing issues that underly Aspergers
Syndrome by improving sensory
integration skills directly, enabling users to alleviate
AS symptoms and foster the ability to improve responsiveness
to social cues.
There is a great deal of
information available about symptoms faced by those affected
with AS.
There is much less
information about how various treatments outside of "social
skills training" actually work to improve the condition of
Aspergers' sufferers.
Occupational
therapy approaches, particularly motor skills development and
sensory processing improvement, are often noted as critical to
a comprehensive treatment regimen. Motor skill delays are
typical among AS clients, manifesting themselves, sometime
subtly, in poor handwriting, lack of coordination, bad posture
and general clumsiness or poor motor control. AS also
manifests itself in the form of sensory issues that cause
disturbances in one or more of the senses. Visual, auditory
and tactile sensitivities are very common among AS clients and
frequently result in behavioral
difficulties.
Although the Learning
Breakthrough Program is not a replacement for a comprehensive
OT program, it does deliver a thorough and effective range of
motor skills and sensory integration improvements which are at
the core of how the program aids in resolving the symptoms of
AS.
The ability to utilize our
senses to absorb information, sort it out, prioritize it, and
finally respond to it...speaks to the fundamental strengths of
sensory processing and sensory integration approaches like
ours. The same set of processes, in the context of social cues
and meaningful responses to them, is very much at work in the
way we function in a social context. By strengthening the
brain's processing abilities, the Learning Breakthrough
Program helps to appropriately calibrate the way AS clients
process the information that comes into them and provides for
more accurate and appropriate responses in social settings.
These measures combined
with the impact that motor skills activities have on
neurodevelopment form the basis on which many AS clients have
found Learning Breakthrough to be so
beneficial.
