Therapies addressing motor delays in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) focus on improving coordination, strength, and body awareness. At Primitive OT, we specialize in tailored occupational therapy techniques that target these challenges.
One effective approach is primitive reflex integration, which resolves unintegrated reflexes that can hinder motor development. By working on foundational reflexes, we improve postural control, balance, and fine motor skills. This improves hand-eye coordination, motor planning, and overall physical confidence.
We also use innate rhythmic movements, designed to strengthen the brain-body connection and enhance motor function. These movements support sensory integration, crucial for smooth and purposeful physical activity.
Traditional OT techniques complement our neurodevelopmental focus, with activities designed to improve muscle tone, range of motion, and task-specific motor skills. Every therapy plan at Primitive OT is individualized to meet the unique needs of each child, ensuring targeted and meaningful progress.
We aim to help children with ASD overcome motor delays, empowering them to engage in everyday activities with confidence and independence.
