The OT process begins with a thorough evaluation to identify any obstacles that prevent participation in typical day-to-day activities. Based on this assessment, the therapist creates personalized goals and strategies to address key skills. Therapy sessions typically last 45 minutes, with the frequency determined by individual needs.
Enhancing the ability to engage in and enjoy play activities.
Developing techniques to improve learning and cognitive functioning.
Teaching essential skills for personal hygiene, dressing, and other daily routines.
Implementing strategies to cope with sensory sensitivities and challenges.
Individuals with autism are encouraged to practice these strategies and skills outside of therapy sessions, at home, and in other settings such as school.
This consistent practice helps reinforce the skills learned during OT sessions and promotes greater independence.
Our occupational therapy programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of each child, ensuring they receive the support necessary to thrive in their daily lives.
