Autism Support at Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy — Upper Mount Gravatt, QLD

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience challenges with fine motor skills, which can affect handwriting, self-care tasks like fastening buttons, and play-based learning. Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Upper Mount Gravatt supports these areas through targeted fine motor interventions tailored to each child's needs and interests. Our occupational therapists work on hand strength and coordination using activities such as threading beads, scissor skills practice, and tripod grip development during writing tasks. We also incorporate play-based approaches—like building with construction toys or manipulating playdough—to build confidence and independence. Many families access our services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy support under appropriate plans for the 2025-26 financial year. Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy recognises that fine motor development is interconnected with a child's overall participation in daily routines, learning, and social engagement. Our therapists work collaboratively with families to identify meaningful goals and create strategies that extend beyond the clinic into home and school environments.
