Services CliniKids offers for autism
CliniKids lists sensory processing as a service offered at its Joondalup location. For children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing difficulties are common, and occupational therapy addressing this area typically focuses on helping children regulate their responses to sensory input and develop coping strategies in everyday environments.
According to its listing, CliniKids may support sensory needs through activities designed to provide controlled sensory input or reduce sensory overwhelm. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists commonly use in this space include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or compression vests to provide calming input, use of swings or trampolines to support vestibular (balance and movement) regulation, and structured activities involving different textures or sounds to help children become more comfortable with varied sensory experiences. These approaches aim to support participation in daily routines like mealtimes, transitions, or social settings.
Funding for occupational therapy services may be available through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible participants aged under 65. However, NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot for CliniKids, so families should contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and eligibility. Private payment and other funding arrangements may also be available.

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.

What should I expect in a sensory processing session at CliniKids?
Sessions typically involve assessment of how a child responds to sensory input, followed by tailored activities designed to support regulation and coping. This might include use of equipment, structured play, or everyday strategy practice. The occupational therapist will work with families to understand the child's specific needs and suggest strategies for home and community settings.
