What is Occupational Therapy ?

Occupational Therapy is a type of therapy that helps people with sensory, cognitive, and physical barriers. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder in which the brain fails to function properly. Autistic children have issues when interacting or communicating socially.

It is an overwhelming task to raise a child with Autism but advanced therapies can always help and Occupational Therapy is one of them. It can improve the performance of students since children with a diagnosis of Autism find it difficult to integrate inputs.

How does it work for Autism?

Autistic children lack proper filters to remove irrelevant information and also develop sensory issues. Occupational Therapy aids the process and helps improve social and developmental growth. It assists a child’s participation in school and social environment. Occupational therapists work on the sensory issues of a child and also take appropriate measures to assist parents and their children. Occupational therapists promote positive behavior, to target the child’s social engagement, by working on his actions and reactions. They also work on how the child interacts with the environment around him. This therapy supports full inclusion within the community.

Accessibility

Autistic children can receive Occupational Therapy as a part of their educational plan. Some parents find it convenient to take the therapy through professionals at home. Students who take this therapy at school easily integrate it with their studies. Schools are equipped with certain equipment that can support the therapy by indulging the kids in a professional environment. Small Steps Inclusion Center, Dubai has made the accessibility of Autism related services easier for children
