Autism Support at CliniKids — Joondalup, WA

CliniKids lists sensory processing as a service area relevant to children with autism spectrum disorder. Sensory processing difficulties are common in autistic children, who may experience heightened or reduced sensitivity to sounds, textures, movement, or visual input. According to its listing, the clinic addresses these challenges through occupational therapy interventions. Typical activities might include use of sensory swings or weighted equipment to help regulate responses to movement and proprioceptive input, exposure to varied textures through play-based activities to build tolerance and exploration skills, or structured environmental modifications to reduce overwhelming sensory stimuli. CliniKids may also incorporate fine-motor and coordination exercises that support functional daily activities. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. NDIS registration for CliniKids has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. However, families with NDIS plans may explore whether services align with funded supports under the 2025-26 scheme. Parents considering CliniKids are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss how sensory processing support might address their child's individual needs and any potential funding arrangements.
