Services CliniKids offers for autism
CliniKids in Joondalup, WA lists services that overlap with support for children with autism: Sensory processing. For autism, these services are typically used to help children participate more fully in everyday activities — play, self-care, school routines, and family life. Depending on your child's age and goals, sessions at CliniKids might include sensory-based play (such as swing or proprioceptive work), fine-motor practice, parent coaching on home routines, visual schedules, or task analysis for tricky daily activities like dressing or handwriting. NDIS registration for CliniKids is not confirmed in the current OTWaitlist snapshot. Families considering CliniKids should ask about the clinic's experience with autism, the age range they work with, fees, plan types they accept, and how soon a first appointment is available. OT cannot diagnose autism — diagnosis sits with a paediatrician, psychologist, or psychiatrist, depending on the condition. Speak with your GP about the right referral pathway for your child.

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.

Does CliniKids work with children who have autism?
CliniKids lists services (Sensory processing) that commonly support children with autism. To confirm fit, contact the clinic directly and ask about their experience with this specific area, the age range they support, and how they tailor sessions. Listing overlap suggests relevant skills are available, but the right clinic for your child depends on goals, communication style, and current availability.
How is paediatric OT for autism funded at CliniKids?
Paediatric OT for autism can be funded through the NDIS (Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living, or therapy supports under the Early Childhood Approach for under-9s), Medicare Chronic Disease Management plans (with GP referral), private health insurance extras cover, or direct payment. NDIS registration for CliniKids is not confirmed in the current OTWaitlist snapshot. Contact CliniKids to confirm which plan types they accept and how reports or travel are billed.
Can CliniKids diagnose my child with autism?
No — occupational therapists do not diagnose conditions such as autism, ADHD, or sensory processing concerns. In Australia, formal diagnosis sits with paediatricians, psychologists, or psychiatrists. An OT at CliniKids can complete observations, sensory profiles, and functional assessments that contribute to a clinical picture, but the diagnostic conversation needs to happen with a different clinician. Speak with your GP about the right pathway.
