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) who are aged 6 to 12. If your child is already receiving occupational therapy, they might be able to join and help us learn more about its benefits.
