Fact:
With appropriate therapies and interventions, working memory can be enhanced.
Working memory refers to the ability to hold and manipulate information in the mind over short periods of time. It is crucial for tasks such as following instructions and problem-solving.
Children with autism may face challenges in working memory, which can impact their social interaction, learning, and daily functioning. Early intervention can significantly improve these skills.
Answer:
Working memory is a cognitive system that holds and processes information necessary for complex tasks, such as learning and reasoning.
Through personalized assessments and targeted therapies, we help enhance working memory and provide the necessary support for growth.
