Autism is characterized by global developmental impairments, and its main characteristics are difficulties in interaction and social skills. Diagnosis and intervention should minimize these difficulties, prioritizing greater independence and participation of children in their routines. This intervention should occur in several professional areas, including Occupational Therapy. The Occupational Therapist can work on the daily life skills of people with ASD, as well as motor skills, stimulate social skills, among other intervention possibilities. The present study refers to an integrative literature review with the objective of reviewing scientific works on clinical interventions of Occupational Therapy for children with ASD, through specialized literature. This is a bibliographical research, in which data were collected in the Capes Portal database, from 2007 to 2016. According to the inclusion criteria, 34 articles were selected, which addressed different types of intervention and demonstrated the possibility of intervening with all audiences and in different contexts. The research achieved its objective and proves to be relevant, as it contributes to the theoretical-practical field of Occupational Therapy, increasing the possibilities of intervention with the researched public.
