Autistic spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined in the\u00a0<\/span>DSM-5<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>

Communication and social interaction are impaired, and people with ASD exhibit limited interests and repetitive behavior patterns.\u00a0
\u00a0Disabilities can range from mild to severe and appear in a variety of functional manifestations. There are three levels of functioning within different material ranges, and as its name suggests, it presents a broad spectrum.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The diagnosis includes a psychological medical examination and, if necessary, occupational health professionals.\u00a0<\/span>Occupational therapists participate-are involved in performing assessments of functional characteristics and additional aspects such as sensory regulation, executive functions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

People with autism apply for occupational therapy to be able to take part in daily life, such as eating, dressing, studying, working, and using public transportation.
The occupational therapist uses several approaches to treatment depending on the individual and their environment.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our questions will relate to their routine, interests, and habits. \r\nFor example:\r\nWhen playing with other children, how does your child interact with them?\r\nWhat is his\/her reaction in social situations, such as a birthday party?\r\nWhat is a typical family meal like at home?\r\nWhat interests your child?\r\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Various assessment tools related to participation in occupations and activities were developed and researched in the CHAP Lab. From these, we can learn about the challenges of and set treatment goals for people with autism.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
