THE BENEFITS

For a child with ASD

​

Occupational therapists study human growth and development and a person's interaction with the environment through daily activities. This helps them promote skills for independent living in children with autism and other developmental disorders.

They work together with parents, teachers, and other professionals to help set specific goals, including social interaction, behavior, and classroom performance.

​

There is no single ideal treatment program. But early, structured, individualized care has been shown to work best.

​

An Occupational Therapist draws from various real world scenarios, such as physical play and adapting to environmental changes, to develop an individualized treatment plan for each child.​
