Occupational Therapy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

What occupational therapy does for autistic children, and how to find and fund it in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.

Occupational therapy (OT) helps autistic children build the practical skills of daily life — and, for many, helps with sensory processing, which can be one of the most significant parts of the autistic experience. It's one of the most commonly used and broadly helpful autism supports.

This page covers what OT involves, how to find a provider in Pittsburgh, and how coverage works.
