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 crucial developmental years. Early intervention focuses on building foundational skills in sensory processing, communication, social interaction, and daily living tasks. At Ability Action Australia, our occupational therapists work with children to develop strategies that help them navigate their environment more comfortably. For example, we may use sensory activities like weighted blankets or fidget tools to help regulate sensory input, or implement visual schedules to support transitions between activities. Fine motor skill development is another key focus, with activities such as threading, cutting practice, and handwriting exercises tailored to each child's needs. We also support parents and carers with practical strategies to use at home and in the community. As a registered NDIS provider, Ability Action Australia can work with families to access early intervention funding through the NDIS (2025-26 pricing arrangements), making these services more accessible. Early intervention during the preschool and early school years can significantly support a child's participation in everyday activities and social settings.

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 routines. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—that's done by medical professionals. Ability Action Australia works with your child's existing diagnosis to develop practical strategies that improve participation in school, home, and community activities.
How do I access services through the NDIS?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy funding, Ability Action Australia is a registered NDIS provider. Contact us to discuss your plan and how we can support your child's goals. We can also help you understand what early intervention services might be appropriate for your situation.
What can I expect from early intervention at Ability Action Australia?
Early intervention involves regular sessions where our occupational therapists work with your child on specific skills and strategies. We also provide guidance for parents and carers to support progress at home. Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and goals, focusing on practical skills that help with everyday activities, learning, and social participation.
