What to Look For in Occupational Therapy

  • Sensory integration training
  • Experience with autism spectrum disorders
  • Sensory gym or appropriate equipment
  • Home program recommendations
  • Collaboration with school and other therapists

Insurance: Most health insurance covers occupational therapy. Schools provide OT through IEPs. Regional Centers may fund OT for eligible children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does occupational therapy address?
OT helps with fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care (eating, dressing), handwriting, and daily living skills.
How is sensory processing disorder treated?
OTs use sensory integration therapy, providing controlled sensory experiences to help children better process and respond to sensory input.
Does my child need OT if they're already in ABA?
Often yes. OT addresses different skills than ABA. Many children benefit from both therapies working together.
Can OT help with picky eating?
Yes. OTs often work on feeding challenges related to sensory sensitivities, oral motor skills, and food aversions.
