What does an occupational therapist do for a child with autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (OT)

An OT helps children with autism build skills for daily life. This includes sensory regulation, fine motor tasks like writing and buttoning, self-care routines such as brushing teeth, and social participation. The OT assesses your child's specific sensory profile and functional challenges, then creates targeted activities to close skill gaps, so your child can manage school, home, and social settings with greater independence.
