About Pervasive Developmental Disorder

Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is not a medical procedure but a category of neurodevelopmental conditions, primarily including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A psychologist plays a crucial role in the comprehensive assessment and therapeutic management of individuals with PDD. This involves a detailed diagnostic evaluation using standardized tools, behavioral observations, and interviews to understand social, communication, and behavioral patterns. Following diagnosis, the psychologist develops and oversees individualized intervention plans, which may include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), social skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and parent/caregiver coaching. The goal is to enhance functional abilities, reduce challenging behaviors, and improve overall quality of life and integration into daily activities.
