How Occupational Therapy Helps Children with Autism
Occupational therapy for children with autism targets areas that impact their ability to function and succeed in everyday life. At CST Academy, our therapy sessions focus on:
- Sensory Processing: Helping children process sensory input (touch, sound, movement) in a way that supports regulation and engagement.
- Fine Motor Skills: Improving hand-eye coordination and dexterity for tasks like writing, cutting, or buttoning clothes.
- Gross Motor Skills: Developing strength, balance, and coordination for larger movements, such as climbing stairs or playing sports.
- Self-Care and Independence: Teaching skills like dressing, grooming, and eating to foster autonomy in daily routines.
- Social Participation: Encouraging skills that help children interact and play effectively with peers and family members.

"After almost 2 years our son’s time at CST Academy has come to an end. The preschool program has done wonders for him. Ms Jaclyn is such a warm, kind and patient teacher. She and my son’s OT (Ms. Nikki) and ST (Ms. Erika) worked together to ensure he was meeting all of his goals. The level of collaboration between all therapies shows how dedicated they are to helping your child reach their full potential. They have all made such an impact on him, it’s amazing to see the changes since he started there. He has blossomed into a strong, confident boy who is more than prepared to start his new school in a few weeks. We will always fondly remember our time at CST Academy. Can’t recommend them enough!"
"I worked with CST Academy over a period of about 10 months. They are absolutely incredible! I also referred a friend to their program and the progress his child made just blew him away! Usually, I don’t write reviews unless I feel strongly compelled one way or the other, and in this case I do! You cannot go wrong here. I would not trust my children to anyone else. Call them and see for yourself. I have seen other programs and there is just no comparison."
