Autism Support at BO OT — Across NSW
BO OT in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services BO OT offers for autism
BO OT provides early intervention services specifically designed to support children with autism spectrum disorder across NSW. Early intervention during childhood can help develop essential skills in sensory processing, motor coordination, and daily living activities. At BO OT, occupational therapists work with autistic children to address individual needs through tailored activities. Examples include sensory integration work using equipment like weighted blankets and sensory swings to help regulate responses to environmental stimuli, fine motor skill development through play-based activities such as threading, cutting, and handwriting practice, and the creation of visual schedules and environmental modifications to support daily routines and transitions. These interventions aim to build confidence and independence in everyday tasks. BO OT is registered with the NDIS, meaning families may be able to access funding for services under the 2025-26 scheme if they have an approved plan. Early intervention services are most effective when started as early as possible, and our therapists work collaboratively with families to identify goals that matter most to your child.

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, BO OT's therapists can identify sensory, motor, and functional difficulties that may be present and work with your child's medical team. If you're concerned about autism, your GP or paediatrician can arrange formal assessment through appropriate diagnostic services.
How does BO OT help my autistic child with everyday activities?
BO OT focuses on building skills for daily living, such as self-care routines, managing transitions, and developing fine and gross motor abilities. Therapists use play-based and sensory approaches tailored to your child's interests and needs, helping them participate more independently in school, home, and community activities.
Is BO OT's early intervention covered by NDIS funding?
BO OT is NDIS registered, so early intervention services may be funded through an approved NDIS plan for eligible children. Funding availability depends on your child's plan and goals. Contact BO OT directly to discuss your situation and how the 2025-26 NDIS arrangements apply to your family.
