When we help autistic children, many people look only at what they see. This is the child’s behavior. We notice things like tantrums, not following directions, or moving around a lot. But there are many reasons under the surface that lead to these behaviors. These can include sensory needs, motor skills, emotions, how a child talks, thinking skills, and the environment.

A true whole child approach looks at both what is seen and what is not seen. We try to understand what the child needs. We ask why a certain behavior is happening. We work on helping the child feel safe, calm, and ready to learn.

As an occupational therapist, I believe that therapy should help with both what is visible and what is hidden. I have seen that children do best when we support both their behavior and their deeper needs.

If we focus on only one part, we miss the bigger picture. Both the behaviors we see and the needs we do not see must be managed together. Change happens when we respond to both. This is how we truly help children move forward in real and lasting ways.

Some schools say they practice inclusive education. Many people think this means letting every child enroll in school. But real inclusion is more than just letting a child join a class.

True inclusive education means meeting the needs of each child. This means teachers must change lessons, use different ways to teach, and give extra help when needed. It is important to make sure every child can learn and take part in all activities.

Inclusive education does not mean just helping with one or two areas. It means looking at the whole child. This includes their thinking, feelings, movement, social skills, and more. Real inclusion is about giving support in all parts of learning and growing.

As an occupational therapist, I believe children should not be pressured by expectations. Every child learns at their own pace and in their own way. Our role is to help them feel safe, accepted, and supported as they learn and grow.

If we want real inclusion, we must go beyond words and open doors. We must give every child the chance to be seen, heard, and valued for who they are. Inclusive education is not just a policy. It is a promise to meet each child’s needs and to support them fully in every part of their learning journey.

With readily available cell phones, tablets, game devices, and more, screens are not only easy to access but also hard to avoid these days.

We understand there will be screen time, but not all screens are created equal. Just remember to set clear guidelines, such as time limits, and ensure these programs are both child-friendly and of high quality.

Comment "SCREEN TIME" to the full therapist-approved list of screen time recommendations!

Many families look for ways to help their children grow and learn, especially when they notice delays. Some may try other programs or activities, hoping for quick results. But there is no real substitute for occupational therapy.

Occupational therapists are trained to understand each child’s needs. They know how to help with movement, daily routines, play, and even handling big feelings. OTs use activities that are just right for your child’s age and needs. They also teach families how to support learning and independence at home.

Choosing occupational therapy gives children the right help at the right time. Other activities can be helpful, but only OT offers a full plan that supports every part of a child’s growth. If a child does not get the correct intervention, it will not just result in harm. It can also lead to the development of disruptive behaviors that may take weeks or even months to manage.

Research clearly shows that early and targeted occupational therapy leads to better outcomes for children with developmental challenges. When it comes to helping children reach their full potential, nothing can take the place of occupational therapy.

In the Philippines, the occupational therapy profession is regulated by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to protect the safety and wellbeing of the public. Only those with a degree in occupational therapy and a valid PRC license can legally practice as OTs. Individuals who claim to be occupational therapists without the required education and PRC registration are violating the law and may face legal consequences. For your child’s safety and best interests, always seek help from qualified and registered occupational therapists.
