⭕ 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; the child 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 practically did not speak, was in an autistic state. He had such signs of autism as lack of eye contact, pointing gesture, hysterics, selectivity in food, constipation, lack of contact with people, children and the outside world, the autistic child showed no interest in toys and games, was hyperactive, licked objects around, had no sense of fear, low immunity.
Now Tamerlan understands speech, fulfills requests and helps around the house. The autistic child’s gaze has changed, he has become more conscious, eye contact has improved, he has become interested in the world around him, his diet has expanded (now he eats only healthy food and does not pay attention to sweets), he has started to go to the potty on his own.
