How To Develop Attention And Concentration Skills When Suffering From PDD Disorder?
Doctor, my son is with PDD disorder. He has got limited speech not able to narrate things which has happened but he knows things but very poor in expressive and selective attention. How to develop his attention and concentration skills. Presently i am giving him attendrol 18mg twice a day. Can u suggest me how to improve his social and logical thinking skills.
Hi, thanks for asking, I can understand your concerns. If such a child comes to my clinic I would also start sensory integration therapy for him in addition to attentrol. If services of occupational therapist are available in your area you can take your child to him to promote social skills and for sensory integration Try to play games with him that require turn taking. Encourage eye contact during the games. Play games where he requires your help so that he has to interact with you. Games like puzzles and building blocks will improve problem solving skills in him. You can tell him short stories and ask questions with one word answer which will improve his expression. I hope I have helped you. Thank you.
