Autism Support at Access to Therapy — Across QLD
Access to Therapy in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Access to Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. Access to Therapy supports children with autism by addressing sensory processing through tailored occupational therapy interventions. Our therapists work with children to help them better understand and respond to sensory input in their environment. Examples of activities we use include sensory motor circuits—combining movement activities like crawling through tunnels, balancing on beams, and jumping on trampolines to help regulate the nervous system. We also incorporate weighted equipment such as weighted vests or lap pads to provide calming input, and fine-motor activities like threading, puzzles, and craft work to build confidence and coordination. Access to Therapy recognises that each child's sensory needs are unique, so we develop individualised plans based on careful observation and assessment. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. Our team can discuss funding options with you during your initial consultation.

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 diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder—these diagnoses come from medical professionals or psychologists. However, our OTs at Access to Therapy can identify sensory processing differences and support your child's participation in everyday activities. If you're seeking a diagnosis, we recommend speaking with your GP or a developmental paediatrician.
How does Access to Therapy tailor therapy for my child's specific needs?
We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your child's sensory preferences, challenges, and goals. From this, we create a personalised therapy plan using activities and strategies matched to their interests and developmental level. We also work closely with you and other professionals involved in your child's care to ensure consistency across home and school.
Will NDIS funding cover therapy at Access to Therapy?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy services if it's included in your child's plan for the 2025-26 financial year. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss your specific funding arrangements. We're happy to help clarify what services may be covered.
