Gross Motor Development for Your Child with Autism
Gross motor skills involve large muscle movements like running, jumping, balancing, and posture control. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may experience challenges with motor planning, muscle tone, or coordination. Our occupational and physical therapy interventions focus on strength, balance, spatial awareness, and confidence in play.
- Motor planning and body awareness exercises
- Balance, core strength, and coordination games
- Navigating obstacles and playground play
- Sensory-friendly physical movement programs
Fine Motor Development for Your Child with Autism
Fine motor skills involve small muscle movements needed for handwriting, using utensils, buttoning clothes, and manipulating small toys. We build hand strength, bilateral integration, and eye-hand coordination through motivating, sensory-enriched play activities suited to your child's unique learning style.
- Hand and finger strength building
- Pencil grip, scissors, and writing preparation
- Self-care independence (zippers, buttons, utensils)
- Tactile sensory integration activities
Speech and Language Development for Your Child with Autism
Communication looks different for every child with autism. Whether non-verbal, using AAC devices, or working on social pragmatic language and conversation flow, our speech-language pathologists empower your child to express their needs, thoughts, and feelings with joy.
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
- Social-pragmatic language and peer interaction
- Expressive and receptive language enrichment
- Echolalia and conversational turn-taking support
