Oberman's research interest lies in using electrophysiological techniques (such as EEG and TMS and TCS) to investigate neural circuits whose dysfunction may account for the behavioral pathology seen in autism
spectrum disorders with the long term goal
of developing novel
therapeutic interventions.
In 2001 PTUK introduced the «
Spectrum of Needs» and «
Therapeutic Play Continuum» concepts that recognise that children have a wide range
of emotional, behaviour and mental health problems and that professionals with a variety
of interventions and skill levels can safely and effectively alleviate these conditions.
