Occupational Therapists Develop Innovative Engagement Methods

Children and adults with autism have multiple difficulties including:

• Verbal and nonverbal communication
• Sensory sensitivity/hyper and hypo-sensitivities
• Unusual reactions to people and situation

Occupational therapy practitioners work with people who have autism, and provide interventions to help them develop appropriate social, play, and learning skills.

Some of our occupational therapy practitioners are developing innovative ways to engage children with autism in everyday activities.
