Asperger's Syndrome
Do you recognise these symptoms:
● having unusual behaviours or mannerisms ?
● moving awkwardly ?
● having obsessions with very specific topics ?
● displaying inappropriate or limited social interactions ?
● lacking common sense ?
● speaking in an unusual way ?
● always talking about himself rather than others ?
Asperger's Syndrome is a brain development disorder within the autistic spectrum, characterised by poor social interactions and restricted or repetitive behaviour. Many children are able to develop further with specialist help and often develop to such an extend that they fail to meet the diagnostic criteria as adults.
Asperger's Syndrome is sometimes also classified as High Functioning Autism. As many children that suffer from Asperger's Syndrome are able to develop well with the aid of specialist help, there is now a shift in attitude that advocates to see Asperger's Syndrome as a difference rather than a disability. Many adults with Asperger's Syndrome succeed in life, often with a special gift in artistic, or exact sciences such as mathematics, computing or engineering. Specialist intervention at an early stage can assist in this process towards full integration into society.
The five senses – hearing, vision, touch, smell and taste – plus our sense of balance and where our body is in the space around us (proprioception) all contribute to how we learn and develop. How the brain receives, filters, processes and interprets the signals from these senses determines how we perceive reality and how we react, behave and express ourselves. The SAS methods are specifically designed to strengthen sensory processing and improve inter-hemispheric synchronisation and communication. The structured training and coaching programmes improve speech & pronunciation, reading & writing, attention & understanding and lead to better behavioural, social and emotional expression.

Client Feedback - Asperger's Syndrome
All clients are requested to complete a post programme questionnaire, evaluating progress in 27 different categories by indicating:
- Great Improvement = +100 score;
- Good Improvement = +67 score;
- Some Improvement = +33 score;
- No Change = 0 score;
- Deterioration = -100 score;
- Not Applicable = not scored.
The aggregated scores will be on a scale from "-100" (all Deteriorate) through "0" (average No Change) to "+100" (all Great Improvement). All positive scores indicate an improvement.
The average scores of the most relevant 10 categories are listed for clients with Asperger's Syndrome / Autistic Spectrum Disorder / Developmental Delay, highest score first. All 27 categories show positive (improvement) results.
