Services Access to Therapy offers for autism
Access to Therapy lists sensory processing as a service area. For children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing difficulties are common and may affect how a child responds to sounds, textures, movement, or visual input. According to its listing, the clinic offers sensory processing support, which typically involves activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory information and develop coping strategies in everyday environments.
Examples of sensory-focused interventions that occupational therapists commonly use include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help with body awareness and calming, exposure to different textures through play-based activities to build tolerance, and structured movement breaks to support focus and self-regulation. Access to Therapy may tailor these approaches to each child's individual sensory profile and goals.
Parents should note that an occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. If the child has an NDIS plan, sensory processing support may be eligible for funding under the 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements, though funding eligibility depends on individual circumstances and plan goals. Parents are encouraged to contact Access to Therapy directly to discuss how the clinic's listed services align with their child's needs and funding situation.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder. Diagnosis is the role of medical professionals such as paediatricians, psychologists, or developmental specialists. However, an occupational therapist can assess how sensory or motor difficulties affect a child's daily functioning and recommend strategies to support them.
Does Access to Therapy accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration for Access to Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to ask about NDIS eligibility, accepted funding arrangements, and whether sensory processing support aligns with their child's NDIS plan goals for the 2025-26 funding year.
What should I expect during a sensory processing session at Access to Therapy?
Sessions typically involve play-based activities tailored to the child's sensory needs, such as movement work, texture exploration, or use of sensory equipment. The occupational therapist will assess the child's responses and adjust activities accordingly. Access to Therapy can provide more specific information about session structure, duration, and how they work with individual children during an initial consultation.
