Services Allay Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Early intervention is crucial for children with autism spectrum disorder, and Allay Occupational Therapy supports families through tailored therapy during these formative years. Our occupational therapists work with children to develop skills across sensory regulation, communication, social interaction, and daily living activities. Early intervention might include sensory activities such as using weighted blankets or engaging with textured materials to help children process sensory information more comfortably, fine motor exercises like threading beads or practising scissor skills to build hand strength and coordination, and the development of visual schedules or social stories to support transitions and understanding of routines. At Allay Occupational Therapy in Geelong, we collaborate with families to identify goals that matter most to them and their child. Many families access early intervention services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children under 7 years. Our therapists work within the NDIS framework to help children build independence and confidence in everyday activities, whether at home, school, or in the community. Early support can help establish positive patterns and strategies that benefit children as they grow.

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?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. However, our therapists at Allay Occupational Therapy can identify difficulties with sensory processing, motor skills, and daily living activities that may be associated with autism. We work alongside other professionals, such as paediatricians or psychologists, who can provide formal diagnosis. Our role is to support your child's development and independence through targeted therapy.
How do I access NDIS funding for occupational therapy at Allay?
Allay Occupational Therapy is NDIS registered, which means families with an approved NDIS plan can use their funding for our services. If your child has autism and is under 7 years, early intervention support may be available. We recommend contacting the NDIA to discuss your child's eligibility and plan options. Our team can also help explain how occupational therapy goals fit within your NDIS plan.
What should I expect in our first appointment?
During your initial session at Allay Occupational Therapy, our therapist will listen to your concerns and observations about your child's strengths and challenges. We'll gather information about your child's routines, sensory preferences, and what matters most to your family. This helps us understand your child's needs and develop a therapy plan tailored to your goals. Subsequent sessions involve hands-on activities and strategies to support your child's development.
