Occupational Therapy (OT) brings together cognitive, physical and motor skills. The aim of OT is to enable the individual to gain independence and participate more fully in life. For a child with autism, the focus may be on cognitive activities (learning), appropriate play and basic life skills. An occupational therapist will evaluate the child’s development as well as the psychological, social and environmental factors that may be involved. The therapist will then prepare strategies and tactics for learning key tasks to practice at home, in school and in other important settings.
The goals of an OT program may include independent dressing, feeding, grooming and use of the toilet and improved social, fine motor and visual perceptual skills. OT is provided by Certified Occupational Therapists.
