In a remarkable development, a Nigerian doctor, Dr Hokehe Eko, has offered a pioneering virtual clinic, Glow Pediatrics, for evaluating children with autism in the United States.
It was learnt that the virtual attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism evaluations are currently accessible in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Maryland for children between 18 months to 10 years.
Black Enterprise noted that Eko founded Glow Pediatrics as an innovative pediatric integrative medicine practice that takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to address physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children.
Speaking on the development, Eko posited that,“If you have concerns about the possibility of autism, it is generally better to have your child evaluated sooner rather than later.
“Even if you choose not to enroll your child in therapy, understanding your child’s behavior and needs can go a long way toward knowing how to support them.”
“As a result of my experience, I am better able to differentiate between neuro-typical and neuro-atypical behaviors, and can also help identify if there are other factors at play, such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, intellectual delays, or other medical conditions,” Eko added on her website.
It was also gathered that Eko, a Brain Health Consultant and Board-Certified Pediatrician with over a decade of experience, takes a root-cause approach when treating ADHD and autism, considering physical and environmental factors.
According to research studies, autism testing is most significant when children are between 18 months or older, some children may exhibit subtle signs, while others may have more noticeable indicators.
Glow Pediatrics virtual ADHD and autism evaluations are one-to-two-hour sessions catered to children 18 months to 10 years old.
