At Gold Counseling, we recognize a child should start Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) therapy as early as possible, typically around 18 months to 3 years old, as early intervention can significantly improve communication, social skills, and overall development. However, therapy can still be beneficial at any age. Gold Counseling offers tailored therapeutic programs for children with ASD, emphasizing a holistic approach that includes behavioral therapies such as speech therapy. We believe that these interventions should be customized to address the unique communication, social, and behavioral challenges faced by each child. By providing intensive and individualized therapy, we aim to significantly enhance developmental outcomes, improving skills in communication and social interaction while reducing disruptive behaviors.

We also recognize that while early intervention is optimal, therapy at any age can be beneficial.
