👁️ Building Meaningful Connections Through Eye Contact

Eye contact is one of the simplest yet most powerful forms of human connection.

For many children on the autism spectrum, avoiding eye contact isn’t about disinterest — it’s often a way to manage sensory sensitivities or navigate overwhelming environments.

At Lalan Autism Academy, guided by Dr. Lalan Kumar (PT), our therapy programs help children gradually develop comfort with eye contact through structured, evidence‑based approaches.

Each session is designed to nurture confidence, emotional regulation, and social engagement — empowering children to connect more deeply with family, peers, and educators.

💙 Our focus:

Personalized therapy plans tailored to each child’s needs

Gentle, progressive strategies for social communication

A compassionate team dedicated to every child’s growth

Sensory Processing Disorder Explained – Is Your Child Sensitive to Everyday Sensations?

Does your child cover their ears when they hear loud sounds, avoid certain clothing textures, or constantly seek movement? These behaviours may be related to Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), where the brain has difficulty processing sensory information.

Children with sensory processing challenges may: ✅ Be overly sensitive to sounds, lights, touch, or textures ✅ Have difficulty with balance and coordination ✅ Avoid certain foods or clothing ✅ Constantly seek movement or deep pressure ✅ Feel overwhelmed in busy environments

Early identification and personalized therapy can help children improve sensory regulation, confidence, and participation in daily activities.

At Lalan Autism Academy, Dr. Lalan Kumar (PT) and our multidisciplinary team provide comprehensive developmental assessments and individualized therapy programs tailored to each child's needs.

If you have concerns about your child's sensory responses, don't wait. Early intervention can support better learning, communication, and independence.

another thing about ABA— it being used as an autism treatment is so bizarre to me. i’m not going to discount behavioral sciences as a whole, but nothing about ABA was developed with autism in mind. RBTs aren’t required to be particularly educated in autism or caring for/working with someone who has it. in my 40 hour training, there was maybe ten minutes dedicated to autism, that was just, “they can’t talk to people, they stim, and they’re bad at playing with toys the right way.”

ABA is not really developed to teach people with autism, it’s made to train them. RBTs don’t have special training other than “say the thing, help them do it, give them a reward. say the thing, help them do it, give them a reward.” we aren’t required to have a degree or to have completed coursework. most of us don’t know jack shit about speech or occupational skills from just the ABA training alone. if i’m teaching someone to sign “help” but they can’t make a fist or raise their thumb, it is out of my scope to develop that range of fine motor movement. if i’m teaching someone to vocally identify or request an item but they struggle with pronunciation and clarity, it is out of my scope to develop the oral mechanics required for speech.

ABA success stories always come from people who did it ALONG with speech and occupational, and even then, there’s nothing modern ABA does that either of those don’t do better. even occupational uses behavioral science practices similar to ABA, but sparingly and with greater, more advanced training and understanding of an autistic mind. and then, by that point, why even bother with ABA? this person’s working their ass off with speech, OT, and usually school too. so why add another twenty to thirty hours a week to their load? some TODDLERS do forty hours of ABA ALONE, and STILL do speech and OT.

anyway. i love what i do. i love the kids i work with. and it truly makes me happy. but it’s alarmingly easy to become a “specialist” in working with special needs children if you take the ABA route and that should be alarming. i was promoted to a “senior” position recently and the training for that had very little to do with our clientele, and more to do with interpreting programs written by our BCBAs and case managers.

anyway. this is just out of frustration toward how many RBTs i see complaining on social media about what their clients do and then being praised for “doing the lord’s work.”
