Does occupational therapy help children with sensory processing issues?

Occupational therapy is commonly used to support children with sensory processing difficulties, which may include sensitivity to textures, sounds, or movement. Therapists use sensory integration techniques to help children regulate their responses to sensory input, making daily activities more manageable. Strategies may include weighted blankets, deep pressure activities, or exposure to different textures in a structured way.
How does occupational therapy support children with autism?

For children with autism, occupational therapy focuses on developing communication, motor skills, and sensory processing abilities. Therapists help children build social interaction skills, manage sensory sensitivities, and improve fine motor control for tasks like writing and dressing. Sessions are tailored to each child’s specific challenges and strengths, supporting their overall development and independence.
