Speech and Occupational Therapy for a verbal, child who is functionally is age appropriate, what are the benefits?
Speech focused not on just how to speak, but understanding others and how people react and respond to things said to the child and things the child says. They worked on understanding interpersonal relationships.
OT worked on handwriting, which is hardly legible and confidence, they also helped with the social emotional piece.
It has been an important and useful tool for my child with autism to be able to function with friends and I have seen lots of growth.
These tools have worked right alongside ABA. They all work on similar, but different goals and allowed my daughter to grow. Once we move she wants to take a break from services and see if she can make friends on her own and fit in without having so many appointments. I think this will be good for her. It will show her how she has grown in the last two years. If we start to see struggles again we will work to find her services in the new state.
