Services Capability Support Services offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily functioning, learning, and social participation. Capability Support Services offers sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory input from their environment. Our occupational therapists work with children using tailored sensory activities and environmental modifications. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted equipment to help regulate nervous system responses, or incorporate fine-motor activities like threading and manipulation tasks that build confidence during everyday routines. Visual schedules and structured sensory breaks can also support transitions and reduce anxiety. Capability Support Services recognises that sensory sensitivities vary greatly between individuals, so interventions are personalised to each child's needs and goals. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with our team to explore how sensory processing support might benefit them.

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 therapists diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing difficulties. However, our team at Capability Support Services can observe sensory responses during activities and work with you and your child's medical team to support identified sensory needs. A formal diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or developmental specialist.
How does sensory processing support help my autistic child at school and home?
Sensory support can help children manage overwhelming sensory input, improve focus, and participate more comfortably in daily activities. Capability Support Services develops strategies tailored to your child's environment—such as movement breaks, fidget tools, or noise-reduction techniques—that can be used across home, school, and community settings to build independence and confidence.
Can we access occupational therapy through the NDIS?
Many families fund occupational therapy through NDIS supports. Capability Support Services works with families to explore funding options. We recommend checking your NDIS plan or contacting the NDIA to confirm your eligibility and available funding for allied health services in the 2025–26 financial year.
