Do Occupational Therapy Work

Occupational therapists are specially trained professionals who help people regain, develop, or enhance their life skills. An autistic child may need occupational therapy in Chicago because of a sensory problem such as sensitivity to touch or sound. OT also helps children with bad handwriting. Some children may have fine motor problems that affect their ability to manipulate small objects. Occupational therapy focuses on bodily functions and the ability to do basic things independently.
