Occupational therapy (OT) is a valuable intervention
for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to address challenges
related to sensory processing, motor skills, and activities of daily living.
Occupational therapists work with individuals to develop skills that enable
them to participate more effectively in everyday tasks and activities.
For individuals with ASD, occupational therapy may
focus on sensory integration techniques to help regulate sensory input and
reduce sensitivities or aversions to certain stimuli. This can improve
attention, behaviour, and social interactions.
OT also targets fine and gross motor skills, such as
handwriting, coordination, and balance, through activities and exercises
tailored to the individual's needs and interests. Additionally, occupational
therapists may assist with developing self-care skills, including dressing,
grooming, and feeding, to promote independence and autonomy.
By addressing these areas of difficulty,
occupational therapy can enhance the individual's ability to engage in
meaningful activities and improve overall quality of life.
