⭕ LTP® – THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE ⭕
Leah contacted the Dr. Lev Levit Center in November 2021. At 3,5 years old, her son Tamerlan experienced a sharp developmental setback and was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, mental retardation, and speech delay.
Leah works as a speech therapist in a special kindergarten, so she understood perfectly well what these diagnoses were.
The autistic child was practically speechless and in an autistic state. He exhibited signs of autism , including a lack of eye contact, pointing, tantrums, picky eating, constipation, and a lack of contact with people, children, and the outside world. He showed no interest in toys or games, was hyperactive, licked objects, had no sense of fear, and had a weakened immune system.
Tamerlan now understands spoken language, follows requests, and helps around the house. His autistic child's gaze has changed; he has become more aware, his eye contact has improved, he has become interested in the world around him, his diet has expanded (he now eats only healthy foods and doesn't care for sweets), and he has started using the potty on his own.
