Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy services at Atlanta Autism Center are available exclusively to clients receiving ABA services

Occupational therapy (OT) helps children with ASD develop skills needed for greater independence and participation in everyday activities. Therapy may focus on areas such as self-care, fine motor skills, play, learning, sensory processing, and daily routines.

Therapy begins with an evaluation by an occupational therapist to better understand your child’s strengths, developmental skills, and individual needs. Based on the evaluation, the therapist develops personalized goals and treatment strategies.

Goals may include improving skills such as dressing, feeding, grooming, toileting, handwriting, fine motor coordination, play, and other daily living activities. Therapy sessions are individualized, and families may also receive strategies to help their child practice and use these skills at home, school, and in the community.
