Autism Treatment

The Alexander Technique is an effective educational method for individuals on the Autism Spectrum, such as Autism, Asperger Syndrome, and PDD-NOS.

The Alexander Technique is ideally suited for helping people form sensory integration and body awareness, and comprises a system of physical and vocal training that is especially beneficial for people on the Spectrum.

The Alexander Technique is also noted for calming the nervous system and teaching stress management, thereby helping students relieve their tension and anxiety.

Caitlin is experienced working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum. She works as a respite care provider for children and teens with Autism and Asperger Syndrome. She teaches Alexander Technique to individuals on the Spectrum who experience improvements in posture, movement, and overall sense of well-being. Caitlin is currently pursuing a Master’s in Occupational Therapy to help individuals with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Caitlin believes that the Alexander Technique’s gentle, non-invasive system of realignment and poise is ideal for individuals with Autism.

Expanding the use of the Alexander Technique to meet the needs of people on the Spectrum is a specialty of Caitlin’s, and is an area of ongoing research.
