Occupational therapy for children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how occupational therapy helps children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) improve daily skills. It compares outcomes for children diagnosed early versus later, to see if starting therapy sooner makes a difference.
