Autism Support at Centre of Movement — Across QLD
Centre of Movement in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Centre of Movement offers for autism
Centre of Movement supports children with autism spectrum disorder through tailored occupational therapy that addresses sensory processing differences and everyday functional skills. Children with autism often experience sensory sensitivities—some may seek intense input while others find everyday sensations overwhelming. Our occupational therapists work with each child's unique sensory profile, using evidence-informed strategies to help them engage more comfortably with their environment and daily routines. At Centre of Movement, interventions might include sensory motor activities such as weighted blanket use during transitions, proprioceptive input through resistance exercises, or structured play with textured materials to build tolerance. We also support fine motor skills essential for writing and self-care, and help develop visual supports and routines that provide predictability. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 rates apply), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible participants. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder, we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to address the functional challenges that often accompany autism, helping your child develop greater independence and confidence in daily activities.

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 therapy help my child with autism manage sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists at Centre of Movement can assess how your child responds to sensory experiences and develop strategies to help them manage or adapt to challenging sensations. This might include sensory activities, environmental modifications, or coping techniques. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—this requires assessment by other specialists.
Does Centre of Movement accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Centre of Movement directly to confirm current NDIS registration and funding arrangements for 2025-26. Many families use NDIS plans to access occupational therapy services. Our team can discuss funding options and how to access support through your plan if you're eligible.
What should I expect during my child's first appointment?
Your occupational therapist will typically gather information about your child's sensory preferences, daily routines, and any functional challenges you've noticed. They'll observe how your child engages with activities and discuss goals with you. This helps Centre of Movement create a personalised plan addressing your child's specific needs and strengths.
