Based on these reports, Sensory Integration protocols are implemented alongside standardized OT exercises.<\/p><br><p>In autism due to neurological constraints, motor programmes have to be taught. Once motor learning happens with practice, the child stores these movements in the repertoire of learnt skills and gradually internal decision-making also develops. Motor programmes become an important part of the procedural memory of the autistic child to navigate daily life. Stored motor programmes enable autistics to perform the correct sequence of actions. At HAS, we consider OT to be the \u2018Basic Structure\u2019 for Occupational Performance.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"boldRow \" ><div class=\"boldRowInner\"><div class=\"rowItem col-md-12 col-ms-12  btTextLeft\"  data-width=\"12\"><div class=\"rowItemContent\" ><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSemiSpaced bottomSmallSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"class_list":["post-96","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hasdelhi.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/96","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hasdelhi.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hasdelhi.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hasdelhi.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hasdelhi.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hasdelhi.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/96\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hasdelhi.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
