Published Studies on Pediatric Autism Therapies
Evaluating complementary, emerging, and sensory-motor therapies against international clinical standards.
Neuromodulation
Impact of rTMS in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Author: Suyog Dhakal PhD
Explores repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting cortical circuits, with social responsiveness trials and safety profiles.
rTMS shows early positive signals in research with good safety, but remains an emerging complementary approach and not a cure.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Impact of HBOT in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Author: Suyog Dhakal PhD
Evaluates Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy trials and the Cochrane systematic review regarding social interaction, communication, and limitations.
HBOT is a legitimate medical treatment for specific conditions, but high-quality evidence does not support it as a proven autism therapy.
Neuro Physiotherapy
Impact of Neuro Physiotherapy in Children with ASD
Author: Jeet Goswami PhD • M.Sc., PhD
Reviews structured physical therapy, postural stability, and sensory-motor exercises supporting body awareness, calmness, and daily activity participation.
Neuro physiotherapy provides valuable motor and sensory regulation support, enhancing daily functioning alongside core therapies.
Speech & Language
Significant Speech Delay and Non‑Verbal Research in 213 Children in Nepal
Authors: Suyog Dhakal PhD • Dr Pratik Rajkarnikar (MD - Pathology)
Clinical analysis of associated factors including cesarean delivery (84%), prolonged labor, hyperactivity (97%), and screen exposure in Nepalese children with speech delay.
Early identification of perinatal and environmental factors can guide targeted interventions for speech delay in Nepal.
Parent Guidance
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Caring Considerations for Parents
Author: Suyog Dhakal PhD • Co-Author: Manas Silwal
Clear, compassionate guidance for parents navigating ASD, understanding foundational therapies, establishing supportive home routines, and preparing for the longer journey.
Understanding the condition, responding with calm support, and taking steady practical steps helps families build confidence and security.
Autism in Nepal
Understanding Autism in Nepal: Early Identification, Intervention, and Support
Author: Suyog Dhakal PhD • Co-Authors: Rajan Kumar Shrestha & Bikal Karki
A comprehensive overview of autism in Nepal, focusing on early identification, speech delay differences, assessment, individualized therapies, and practical guidance for parents.
Early identification, individualized intervention, parent partnership, and evidence-informed support help every child develop and participate as fully as possible.
Disaster Guidance
Mountain Disasters and the Risks for Autistic Children in Nepal: A Post-Disaster Parental Guide
Author: Suyog Dhakal PhD
A practical guide for parents on mountain hazards in Nepal, managing emergency risks for autistic children, communication plans, sensory care, and post-disaster recovery.
Preparedness ensures that when unexpected disasters happen, your autistic child is understood, protected, and supported through recovery.
Supportive Wellness
Potential Benefits of Alkaline Water for Children with Autism
Author: Anjana Marasini
Explores hydration, digestive health, pepsin inactivation mechanisms, mineral composition, safety considerations, and clinical research limitations in autism.
Alkaline water offers potential supportive hydration and gastrointestinal mechanisms, but does not treat core autism characteristics.
Our Multidisciplinary Evidence Philosophy
At Sathi Child Wellness, every therapeutic plan is customized to the child's unique needs. We continually review evolving evidence across neuromodulation (rTMS), hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT), and sensory-motor physical therapies while anchoring all care in proven foundational interventions.
