Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are beset by difficulties in everyday activities such as participation in grooming and hygiene, bathing, toileting, feeding, dressing, and relating to objects and people around them. To address these deficits, occupational therapy (OT) practitioners should innovate their services for children with ASD to include the application of contextual intervention rooted in the use of practice models as well as current evidence. The use of the home-like environment (HLE) in the clinic setting is an innovation which can provide a unique perspective of helping children with ASD in addressing their chellenges in activities of daily living (ADL). The HLE and its environmental enhancements can be used as a context for evaluation and intervention and as a treatment modality which can facilitate performance in ADL. This capstone project also includes a business plan based on the balanced scorecard model. The plan is described in four perspectives which include financial, internal business process, learning and growth, and customer.
