- Repetitive patterns in behavior
- Lines up toys and spends an unusually long time playing with the same toy
- Likes to watch things that spin

Can autism be cured?
Autism is not a disease in and of itself; it is a developmental disorder and hence, does not have a cure. All the treatments for Autism revolve around reducing the symptoms and improving development and learning. We achieve this through a variety of behavioral therapies and sensory processing techniques.
While some children grow out of the condition with therapy and respond to the social cues in much calm and enhanced manner, some children require life-long support to adapt to the environment around them. However, children that undergo occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other applied behavior analysis showcase considerable improvement in their language skills, learning abilities, and other behaviors. Children with autism can do much better with timely intervention. Call our autism treatment center today to know about treatment approaches for Autism.
Benefits of occupational therapy for autism
Autistic children and adults often experience trouble with communication and social interaction. Occupational therapy helps in reducing negative behaviors and in reinforcing positive behaviors in those with Autism. Our occupational therapists impart necessary skills required for safe and independent living in the environment around them.
Furthermore, occupational therapy helps in improving development and learning. Children that undergo occupational therapy show considerable improvement in behavior, social interaction, and classroom performance. During this therapy, one of our occupational therapists will work with your child on:
- Improving their span of attention and stamina
- Ability to transition to new activities without getting upset
- Improve play skills
- Improve social interactions
- Improve response to cues like touch, light, and other stimuli
- Improve motor skills
