What Is Occupational Therapy for Autism?
Occupational therapy for autism is a specialized therapeutic approach that helps children on the autism spectrum develop the skills they need for daily living, learning, and social interaction. Our experienced pediatric occupational therapists work with each child to address their unique challenges and build upon their strengths.
​
Through evidence-based interventions and play-based activities, we help children improve their sensory processing, motor skills, communication abilities, and adaptive behaviors. Our goal is to enhance each child's independence and quality of life while supporting their families throughout the journey.
