🧩 FOCUS ON STRENGTHS: Autism therapy is shifting! In 2026, we're seeing a surge in strengths-based approaches that celebrate autistic individuals' unique abilities and perspectives.

🌟 Instead of solely focusing on deficits, therapists are now emphasizing skill-building and harnessing existing talents. This means identifying passions, fostering creativity, and building confidence.

✅ Occupational Therapy (OT) plays a key role, addressing sensory needs to unlock learning potential and boost daily independence.
