Research shows that children and young people on the autism spectrum, are at risk of low levels of physical activity, and high levels of sedentary behaviours. This puts them at risk of diseases associated with inactivity, as well as limits their opportunities for social engagement. That’s why our Cairns autism management approach, specifically addresses movement and function.
Occupational therapy (OT) is another valuable resource in managing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for children and adults. By focusing on enhancing daily living skills and addressing sensory integration, OT interventions can significantly improve an individual’s quality of life. Through tailored therapies and interventions, occupational therapy plays a pivotal role in enabling individuals with ASD to thrive.
Our approach to Cairns autism management is to tailor individualised treatment plans, to deliver best outcomes for specific needs. We strongly value hands on therapies, to help relieve pain and management of sensory issues. Our team are experienced at a range of modalities and will select the best one, to maximise your treatment. These may include play therapy, craniosacral therapy, occupational therapy, osteopathic techniques or remedial massage.
