Parent's Opinion

DATE 8. 4. 2002
NAME – MISS NIKITA RAJIV BAGDARE
PERIOD OF TREATMENT 1 YEAR & 3 MONTHS

Following are the notable, phenomenal changes during this period of treatment.

• Social information & communication – Miss Nikita has become more social & mixes with other people. Her communication skills are considerably developed & she uses little sentences, which was not very familiar, earlier.
• Previously she used to throw objects, but now it is only when there is reaction or she wants attention.
• Holding of object now for considerably time. She keeps the object with which she is playing.
• Speech – previously speech was not very clear, but now speech is clear and she uses sentences to communicate herself now. She demands what she wants.
• Understanding – this field has been improved and it seems that she knows the consequences of the act she is doing. Now she looks more confident. Also echolalia has been lessened & repetition of words happens only when she wants attention.
• Eating Habits - These are now very well developed and she has started eating all vegetables & other things. She is now less choosy about eatables & she demands what she wants to eat.
