Choosing therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when different professionals recommend different approaches. At Bethelxafe Autism Foundation, we remind families that therapy should serve your child’s real needs, not trends or pressure.
Understanding Therapy Options
Common therapy supports include:
- Speech and language therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Behaviour and skill based interventions
- Social skills groups
Each child benefits differently, and not every therapy is necessary at once.
Questions to Ask Before Starting
Ask therapists:
- What goals are being targeted
- How progress is measured
- How families are involved
- How strategies can be used at home
Clear answers help you make informed decisions.
Keeping Therapy Sustainable
Consistency matters more than quantity. Focus on therapies that respect your child, fit your family routine, and target meaningful daily skills.
