Ask an Occupational therapist …. Re: Autism Diagnosis

In the above conversation, I respond to parents who were down about a recent Autism diagnosis they’ve received for their child. I reiterate that Early intervention works wonders for children with Autism. Whether the child is receiving Occupational therapy, speech therapy, and or physical therapy , as well as Behavior therapy, the possibilities are endless for what they can achieve. As seen in the above snapshot, a parent attests to the gains made for their child who’s received services since 2 years of age. This is one of many testimonials that exist today. So if Autism has been brought before you and your family as something to tackle, know, first that you are not alone. Then be encouraged understanding that there are resources and supports available to help 🙂 !!
