Overview

Dentists can collaborate with Occupational Therapists (OTs) to provide Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)-specific strategies, suggests a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in initiating social interactions, maintaining social communication, and a range of restricted repetitive behaviours (RRBs), interests, and activities. Deficits in social interactions and communication include challenges in social-emotional reciprocity, non-verbal communication, and establishing, or even understanding, relationships.
