SCHE GDCA STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT DR Kondekar

Integrating the Kondekar Sensory-Cognitive Hierarchical Evolution (SCHE) Model into a Goal-Directed Cognitive Framework Prof. Dr. Santosh Kondekar Director, AAKAAR Clinic, Mumbai Autism Doctor India www.autismdoctor.in Read basics about SCHE MODEL of development here...click here Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), speech delay, and behavioural dysregulation are commonly conceptualised through behavioural, sensory, or diagnostic frameworks. However, these approaches often fail to capture the underlying developmental mechanism responsible for the emergence of these symptoms. The Kondekar Sensory-Cognitive Hierarchical Evolution (SCHE) Model proposes that child development represents a progressive integration of sensory processing, emotional regulation, motor organisation, social awareness, language and cognition. Development progresses hierarchically from primitive survival regulation toward symbolic verbal cognition and socially re...

What is best for autism? music? rhymes? stories? language? frequency headphones? Dr Kondekar gives a firm key statement

Language–Lyrics Based Therapy Versus Frequency-Based Headphone Music Therapy in Autism: A Neurodevelopmental and Linguistic Perspective Dr. Santosh Kondekar www.autismdoctor.in Abstract In recent years, several auditory-based intervention programs have been proposed for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These include therapies based on filtered music, specific sound frequencies, binaural beats, and headphone-delivered melodic stimulation. While such interventions may influence sensory processing or emotional regulation, their ability to promote meaningful language development remains questionable. This article argues that language-lyrics based therapy, which integrates music with meaningful words and social interaction, is fundamentally superior to frequency-based headphone listening therapies for the development of communication in autism. From the perspective of neurodevelopmental linguistics, language acquisition requires semantic mapping, social ...

Rethinking Autism Intervention: Neurogenesis, Synaptic Biology, and the Limits of Sensory-Based Therapies in Early Brain Development Prof Dr Santosh Kondekar Autism Doctor Mumbai ,  Autism doctor India 9869405747 MD DNB DCH FCPS DNB FAIMER, fellowship Pediatric neurology & Epilepsy, Diploma Developmenatl Neurology CDC Kerla  , rof Pediatrics T N Medical College Mumbai,  Director AAKAAR CLINIC Byculla west Mumbai  INDIA Introduction Human brain development begins long before birth. From the earliest weeks after conception, the fetal brain enters an extraordinary phase of growth characterized by rapid neurogenesis, neuronal migration, and circuit formation . Estimates suggest that during peak periods of prenatal brain development, hundreds of thousands of neurons are generated every minute , creating the fundamental architecture of the central nervous system (CNS). This process continues through what developmental neuroscientists describe as the “first 1000 days o...

The Environment–Neurochemistry–Capacity (ENC) model integrates thought–behaviour bidirectionality with neurochemical modulation and perceptual accuracy. This paper extends the model by introducing an autism-specific conceptual...
