Autism therapy

Autism therapy

Encompasses a range of specialized interventions designed to support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in improving their communication skills, social interactions, behaviors, and overall quality of life. These therapies are tailored to the unique needs of individuals with ASD and aim to enhance their developmental outcomes.

Treatments can be given in education, health, community, or home settings, or a combination of settings. It is important that providers communicate with each other and the person with ASD and their family to ensure that treatment goals and progress are meeting expectations.

As individuals with ASD exit from high school and grow into adulthood, additional services can help improve health and daily functioning, and facilitate social and community engagement. For some, supports to continue education, complete job training, find employment, and secure housing and transportation may be needed.
