Should My Low To Moderate Autistic 3 Year Old Son Do OT?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

What are thoughts on occupational therapy? Does it have an effect on behaviour? He is already extremely agile. I’m not really entirely sure what OT truly is and how it can help, but I hear amazing things.

I’d like to know the same thing. I hear a good OT can help with food aversions and other OCD/sensory-related problems.

OT helped my son not be so scared of getting in the bathtub. I literally had to bathe him in the pool outside in the summer lol or in a storage tub in my living room. He was PETRIFIED of the bathtub. His Occupational Therapist was phenomenal, truly. She would get him in his swimming trunks and every appointment, we would do water play closer and closer to the bathroom - until we got into the bathroom on one of his last appointments! He loves to take a bath now, and I don’t know how I would have managed that obstacle without her assistance. She also helped him overcome a lot of sensory issues related to foods. I’d definitely recommend!
