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 provides occupational therapy support focused on sensory processing to help children develop strategies for managing sensory experiences in their environment. Our occupational therapists work with children to build awareness of their sensory needs and develop coping techniques tailored to their individual profile. Examples of interventions at Capability Support Services include structured sensory activities such as using weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, engaging with sensory equipment like trampolines or balance bikes to support body awareness, and creating visual supports or environmental modifications to reduce sensory overwhelm in everyday settings. These strategies can support children's participation at home, school, and in the community. Many families access occupational therapy services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can help cover the cost of ongoing support. Our team works collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure therapy goals align with each child's needs and strengths.

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 or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing difficulties. However, our team at Capability Support Services can assess how sensory processing affects your child's daily activities and participation, and work with you and other professionals involved in your child's care to support their development and wellbeing.
How can I access services at Capability Support Services if my child has autism?
You can contact Capability Support Services directly to discuss your child's needs. Many families fund occupational therapy through NDIS plans (2025-26 pricing), Medicare referrals, or private payment. Our team can discuss funding options and help determine whether our services are appropriate for your child.
What should I expect during occupational therapy sessions for sensory support?
Sessions typically involve assessment of your child's sensory responses and daily routines, followed by tailored activities and strategies. Capability Support Services works collaboratively with families, providing guidance on activities you can continue at home. Sessions may include hands-on sensory activities, environmental modifications, and education about your child's sensory profile.
