Occupational therapy helps autistic children build the everyday skills that make daily life work, from handwriting and getting dressed to managing sensory input and self-regulation.

Raleigh is home to several long-established pediatric OT clinics, including some of the more sensory-integration-focused practices in the state, so families here have real options close to home.

This page explains what OT does, where to find it in the Triangle, and how it is funded. It is a starting point, not medical advice, so confirm specifics with each clinic and your plan.
