Occupational therapy (OT) helps autistic children build the everyday skills that make daily life work — from getting dressed and handling utensils to managing a sensory environment that can feel overwhelming.
Good OT is collaborative and respectful. It works with your child's sensory profile, not against it, and it treats stimming and sensory needs as real and valid rather than as problems to erase.
This page covers what OT does, the sensory debates worth knowing about, coverage in Vermont, and how to find an OT in the Burlington area.
