Autism and OT: Doing Your Homework
Your therapist is already working hard with you to help your child maximize his or her capabilities. But your therapist can only do so much in an hour or so a week. As an OT with more than 10 years experience helping children with developmental disabilities, including broad clinical experience with children with Autism – and the mother of two children with ASD – Meg will share a variety of strategies that parents can use at home to leverage the progress you are making with your occupational therapist. If you’re looking for fun and effective strategies to use at home with your child, don’t miss this presentation.
