Understanding Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that affects how children perceive,
interact,
and learn from their surroundings. At Spectrum Sprouts, we believe every child is unique. Our mission is to
nurture
their strengths, support their challenges, and empower them to thrive with confidence and independence.
