Services Bankstown Paediatric Care offers for autism
Bankstown Paediatric Care provides occupational therapy support tailored to help children with autism spectrum disorder develop skills for everyday living and learning. Our occupational therapists work with each child's unique strengths and challenges, addressing areas like sensory processing, fine motor coordination, self-care routines, and social participation. Common interventions at Bankstown Paediatric Care include sensory-based activities such as weighted blanket use and controlled exposure to different textures to support regulation; fine motor exercises like threading, scissor work, and handwriting practice to build pencil grip and control; and visual supports including picture schedules and social stories to aid transitions and communication. We also support families in creating structured routines and adapting home environments to reduce anxiety. Many families access our services through NDIS funding, and as a registered NDIS provider, we can work within the 2025–26 funding framework to support your child's goals. Our approach is collaborative, involving parents and caregivers in planning so strategies extend beyond the clinic into school and home settings. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose autism, it plays an important role in helping children build confidence and independence across daily activities.

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 develop better social skills?
Occupational therapy addresses underlying skills that support social participation, such as sensory regulation, turn-taking during play, and managing transitions between activities. Our therapists at Bankstown Paediatric Care can work on these foundational areas and suggest strategies to support peer interaction, though we focus on the occupational performance aspects rather than social coaching directly.
How do I access Bankstown Paediatric Care through the NDIS?
As a registered NDIS provider, Bankstown Paediatric Care can accept NDIS funding for eligible participants. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your child's plan and how occupational therapy goals align with your NDIS funding. Our team can guide you through the process and help maximise your 2025–26 funding allocation.
What should I expect in the first appointment?
The initial session involves gathering information about your child's daily routines, challenges, and strengths. Our occupational therapist will observe your child in play and activities, then discuss observations with you and collaboratively set goals. This helps us create a personalised plan that addresses your family's priorities.
