Occupational Therapy in Madison

Occupational therapy (OT) helps autistic children build the everyday skills that make daily life work — from getting dressed and handwriting to managing sensory experiences that can feel overwhelming. In Madison, OT is available through pediatric clinics, hospital programs, early intervention, and schools. This page explains what OT actually does for autistic kids, how Wisconsin pays for it, and how to find a Madison provider whose approach centers your child's comfort rather than just making them look "typical."
