Music and Sound

Music and sound therapy can be beneficial for autistic people, helping to develop communication skills, emotional expression and social interaction.

Water Therapy

Water therapy, such as hydrotherapy, can improve muscle strength, coordination and relaxation, providing a pleasant sensory environment.

Touch Therapies

Therapies such as therapeutic massage or tactile stimulation can be beneficial for autistic people, helping to regulate sensory sensitivities and promoting relaxation.

It is important to remember that alternative therapies can have different results for different people. Before starting any therapy, it is essential to consult specialized health professionals and consider the individuality of each individual. Alternative therapies should be used as a complement to conventional therapies and under proper guidance.
