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, communication, social interaction, and daily living activities. At Ability Action Australia, our occupational therapists work with children to develop strategies that help them navigate everyday environments more comfortably. For example, we may use sensory activities like weighted blanket work or movement breaks on a therapy ball to help children regulate their responses to sensory input. Fine motor activities—such as threading, cutting, and handwriting practice—support independence in self-care and learning tasks. Visual schedules and structured routines help children understand expectations and transition between activities more smoothly. Early intervention during these formative years can help children develop confidence and coping strategies that benefit them across home, school, and community settings. If your child has been identified as autistic or you're exploring support options, Ability Action Australia is registered with the NDIS, meaning many families can access funding through their plans to support these services in 2025–26 and beyond.

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 autistic child with sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists at Ability Action Australia work with sensory sensitivities through tailored activities and environmental modifications. We cannot diagnose sensory processing differences, but we can help your child develop strategies to manage sensory experiences in daily life—such as using calming techniques or adjusting their environment. This supports participation in school, family activities, and community outings.
Is Ability Action Australia registered with the NDIS?
Yes, Ability Action Australia is NDIS-registered. This means if your child has an approved NDIS plan, you may be able to use your funding to access our early intervention occupational therapy services. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child's goals.
What age children do you support, and when should we start early intervention?
Early intervention is most effective during the early years of development. Ability Action Australia supports children across NSW. If you're considering early intervention for your autistic child, earlier engagement generally allows more time to build foundational skills. We recommend contacting the clinic to discuss your child's age and needs.
