How is OT different from ABA therapy for autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (OT)

OT focuses on sensory processing, motor skills, self-care, and functional independence in daily activities. ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) targets behaviour modification through reinforcement strategies. OT asks 'why is this child struggling with this task?' and addresses root sensory or motor causes. ABA asks 'how do we increase desired behaviours?' Both approaches complement each other well.
