Ability Action Australia in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Ability Action Australia offers for autism
Ability Action Australia provides early intervention occupational therapy services designed to support children with autism spectrum disorder during critical developmental years. Early intervention focuses on building foundational skills in sensory processing, motor development, and daily living activities that can significantly impact a child's participation at home, school, and in the community. At Ability Action Australia, our occupational therapists work with children to develop strategies tailored to their individual needs. Examples of interventions include sensory motor activities such as using weighted blankets or resistance equipment to help with body awareness and self-regulation, fine motor skill development through play-based activities like threading, cutting, and handwriting practice, and the introduction of visual schedules and environmental modifications to support daily routines and transitions. Early intervention is particularly valuable during the preschool and early primary years, when children are developing crucial independence and social participation skills. Ability Action Australia is registered with the NDIS, meaning families may be able to access funding through their child's NDIS plan to support these services. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure interventions are meaningful and sustainable across all environments.

About autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental difference that shapes how children process information, communicate, and respond to their sensory environment. In Australia, autism is identified across a wide range of ages, and many families first speak with a GP or paediatrician about referrals for assessment after noticing differences in play, communication, sensory responses, or daily routines.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy can support many children with autism by addressing sensory sensitivities, motor skills, and daily living activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism. Ability Action Australia's early intervention services focus on building skills in areas like self-care, play, and school participation. An assessment with our team can identify specific areas where therapy might benefit your child.
How does NDIS funding work with Ability Action Australia?
Ability Action Australia is NDIS registered, meaning if your child has an approved NDIS plan, you may be able to use allocated funding for occupational therapy services. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements outline what services are funded. We recommend discussing your child's plan with your NDIS planner or local area coordinator to understand what support is available.
What should I expect during the first visit?
Your first appointment typically involves an assessment where our occupational therapist learns about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. We observe how your child engages in play and activities, then discuss findings with you and develop a therapy plan tailored to your family's goals and priorities.
