In autism, Occupational Therapists work with methods such as sensory integration, activities of daily living training, use of assistive devices, visual perception, cognitive therapies and family trainings by taking advantage of the therapeutic feature of the activity in order to help individuals adapt to their own living environments, improve their independence and social participation skills.
Appropriate behaviours are taught by determining the sensory characteristics of the child with autism and developing their sensory skills. In addition, in order to prevent the onset of predicted negativities and tantrums, sensory integration therapy is also used to relax and relieve stress.
Daily life skills such as eating, toilet training, bathing, dressing, self-care are developed.
