Autism Support at Chatterbox — Across NSW
Chatterbox in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Chatterbox offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills, which can impact daily activities like eating, writing, and self-care. At Chatterbox, our occupational therapists work with children to build confidence and independence in these areas. Through sensory processing support, we use tailored activities such as weighted blanket work, tactile exploration with different textures, and movement-based play to help children regulate their responses to sensory input. For fine motor development, Chatterbox offers targeted exercises including threading activities, scissor skills practice, and hand-strengthening games that make learning enjoyable. Our therapists also incorporate visual supports and structured routines throughout sessions to support understanding and engagement. Many families access occupational therapy services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing applies where eligible), and we can discuss how this might support your child's therapy goals. Every child's needs are unique, so we work collaboratively with families to create individualised plans that address their specific challenges 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 occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy can support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences and fine motor skills that may affect daily activities. At Chatterbox, we work on practical skills like eating, writing, and self-care in ways that suit your child's learning style. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—this requires assessment by a medical professional. We focus on building your child's independence and confidence.
How do I know if my child needs sensory or fine motor support?
Signs include difficulty with transitions, sensitivity to textures or sounds, challenges with writing or cutting, or avoiding certain activities. Chatterbox offers initial consultations where we can discuss your observations and chat about whether occupational therapy might help. We'll work with you to understand your child's strengths and areas where support could make a difference in their daily life.
Does Chatterbox accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Chatterbox directly to discuss current NDIS arrangements and registration status. Many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services, and we're happy to explore options that work for your family. Our team can provide information about costs and how to access services, whether through NDIS or other funding arrangements.
