About INSPIRE
What is Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy at INSPIRE helps children and adolescents on the autism spectrum develop the skills needed for daily living, independence, and meaningful participation in everyday activities. Occupational Therapists (OTs) focus on supporting sensory processing, motor development, emotional regulation, and self-care skills — all tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs. Our OTs work collaboratively with your family and our interdisciplinary team to build practical, functional skills that support success at home, at school, and in the community.
Why Occupational Therapy Matters
Children with autism may experience challenges with:
- Fine motor skills (handwriting, grasping utensils, manipulating small objects)
Gross motor skills (balance, coordination, body awareness)
Sensory processing (over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, textures, movement, or touch)
Emotional regulation (managing frustration, transitions, and routines)
Daily living skills (dressing, feeding, grooming, toileting)
Occupational therapy supports growth in all of these areas so children can build independence, confidence, and the ability to participate fully in everyday routines.

Our Approach
Individualized: Each program begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s motor skills, sensory processing, daily living abilities, and emotional regulation needs. From there, we develop personalized goals based on their unique strengths and challenges.
Collaborative: Our Occupational Therapists work closely with ABA clinicians, Speech-Language Pathologists, and families to ensure coordinated, whole-child care that supports consistent progress across environments.
Functional: We focus on practical skills that promote independence — from self-care and classroom readiness to play skills and participation in everyday routines at home and in the community.
Progress-Driven: Therapy goals are continuously monitored and adjusted to reflect your child’s development, ensuring meaningful and measurable growth over time.
