Brain Balance Centers Discusses Right Brain-left Brain Connections In Autistic Kids

Behavioral scientists know that an ability to process "non
-
verbal" signals lays the
foundation for developing both language and social skills. Dr. Yola Barbosa
, a director at a Brain
Balance Achievement Center in New Jersey notes, "The ab
ility to process the non
-
verbal
communication lays the foundation of social skills and language.
Kids with autism and even ADHD have a kind of social injury. They may not relate socially in ways
most people take for granted. It can be devastating for both
parent and child.
Some children along the
Autism Spectrum and or with severe ADHD are unable to focus or face the problem of inattentiveness.
They may also show signs of hyperactivity and are unable to control their behavior. Early signs of
Autism include
a child avoiding eye contact, no response to the smiles of others and no reaction when
his name is called. In addition, the child may avoid pointing at objects or won't wave goodbye.
According to Barbosa, social skills cannot be taught. They are observed and mimicked by children. "As
infants, we observe, process, mimic, wait for feedback when it come
s to fitting in with society, a group
or another individual. Then we process the response. Kids with autism have fewer of the right brain
connections where
social behaviors are learned."
Positive social feedback creates a learned social skill which will be used in the future. Negative social
feedback creates pain from rejection. We learn not to d
o that negative behavior again
