Services Castle Hill Speech and Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Castle Hill Speech and Occupational Therapy supports children with autism spectrum disorder by addressing sensory processing, motor skills, and daily living activities that can present challenges. Occupational therapists work with each child's unique profile to build independence and confidence in everyday tasks. Common interventions include sensory regulation activities—such as using weighted blankets or fidget tools to help manage sensory sensitivities—fine motor exercises like threading, cutting, and handwriting practice to develop pencil control, and structured visual schedules to support transitions and routine understanding. Therapists at Castle Hill Speech and Occupational Therapy also help children develop self-care skills, social participation strategies, and coping techniques for anxiety or overwhelm. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose autism, it plays an important role in helping children function more comfortably at home, school, and in the community. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply where eligible), which can cover personalised therapy sessions tailored to your child's goals and needs.

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—that requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or developmental specialist. However, an OT can identify sensory, motor, and functional challenges and provide targeted support to help your child manage daily activities and participate more fully at home and school.
How do I know if my child would benefit from occupational therapy?
Children with autism may benefit from OT if they experience difficulties with sensory sensitivities, fine or gross motor skills, self-care routines (dressing, eating), or participation in school and social activities. Castle Hill Speech and Occupational Therapy can discuss your child's specific needs during an initial consultation to determine whether therapy would be helpful.
Does NDIS cover occupational therapy for autism?
Many children with autism access occupational therapy through NDIS funding. Eligibility and funding amounts depend on your child's plan. If you have an NDIS plan, discuss occupational therapy goals with your planner. If you're not yet registered, Castle Hill Speech and Occupational Therapy can advise on private options and support your journey toward NDIS access.
