Great question! Research shows sensory-based therapies, like Ayres Sensory Integration®, can be effective for autism when delivered by trained occupational therapists. Studies (Parham et al., 2007; Kashefimehr et al., 2018) found improvements in motor skills, attention, and daily functioning. The Autism CRC highlights structured sensory experiences in playful activities help brains process input better. Weighted blankets and deep pressure (Biel & Peake, 2019) often help with calming. For evidence-based approaches, check STAR Institute's latest findings or the National Autistic Society's sensory processing guides. Always tailor interventions to individual needs – what works varies!
