Occupational therapy for children with autism is designed to help them develop the skills they need to navigate daily life with more ease and independence. At KGH, our occupational therapists will work with your child to enhance their ability to perform everyday tasks and participate fully in activities at home, at school, and in the community.
Each session is based on your child’s unique needs and developmental level. We focus on making therapy fun and engaging, using activities that are both enjoyable and beneficial.
We help your child learn essential skills like dressing, eating, and personal hygiene. These everyday tasks are broken down into manageable steps, making it easier for your child to learn and master them.
Many children with autism have sensory processing challenges. Our therapists use sensory integration techniques to help your child respond more effectively to sensory input, whether it’s touch, sound, or movement. This can make a big difference in how they handle various environments and situations.
We work on improving fine motor skills, such as writing, using scissors, or buttoning clothes. Activities like puzzles, crafts, and games are used to strengthen these skills in a fun and engaging way.
We also focus on gross motor skills, which involve larger movements like running, jumping, and climbing. Therapy sessions might include obstacle courses, balance activities, and other physical exercises to build strength and coordination.
Occupational therapy helps your child develop better social and play skills, encouraging positive interactions with peers and adults. This includes sharing, taking turns, and playing cooperatively.
We believe in working closely with families, providing you with strategies and activities to support your child’s development at home. Your involvement is key to your child’s success.
