Occupational therapy and rehabilitation sciences focus on helping autistic individuals develop the skills necessary for daily living, education, employment, and community participation. Occupational therapists address sensory processing, fine motor coordination, self-care, emotional regulation, and functional independence. Rehabilitation sciences integrate evidence-based approaches to maximize physical, cognitive, and social functioning throughout the lifespan.
