Of course, just like neurotypical individuals, autistic people do not all share the same difficulties or strengths. These are just a few common traits that you might notice with autistic individuals.

That’s right! Play based therapy might just seem like we are having fun, but it’s actually purposeful, intentional, and structured around your child’s specific goals. Skilled occupational therapists can make therapy both fun and functional!

Distracted eating is not only less safe, it teaches kids less about the process of eating and the qualities of food. They end up eating reflexively instead of exploring foods with their sensory systems.
