Services CliniKids offers for autism
CliniKids lists sensory processing as a service area relevant to supporting children with autism spectrum disorder. Sensory processing difficulties are common in autistic children, who may experience heightened sensitivity to sounds, textures, lights, or movement, or conversely may seek out intense sensory input. According to its listing, CliniKids addresses these needs through occupational therapy approaches.
Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory information. Examples of activities that may be used include work with sensory swings or suspended equipment to support vestibular (balance and movement) input, use of weighted blankets or compression clothing to provide calming proprioceptive feedback, and exploration of different textures through play-based activities. CliniKids may also incorporate fine-motor activities that build confidence and body awareness.
Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. If a child has been diagnosed with autism and is accessing NDIS funding, sensory processing support may be eligible for funding under the 2025-26 scheme. Families interested in whether CliniKids' approach aligns with their child's needs are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss their child's specific presentation and goals.

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 an occupational therapist at CliniKids diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder. Diagnosis must come from medical professionals such as paediatricians, psychologists, or developmental specialists. However, once a child has been diagnosed, an occupational therapist can assess how sensory or motor difficulties are affecting daily functioning and develop support strategies.
Does CliniKids accept NDIS funding for autism-related sensory support?
CliniKids' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents with NDIS plans should contact the clinic directly to ask whether it is registered as an NDIS provider and whether sensory processing support for autistic children falls within their scope of services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements.
What should I expect during a sensory processing session at CliniKids?
This depends on the individual child's needs. Sessions may include activities such as movement-based play, exploration of different textures, use of equipment like swings, or fine-motor tasks. CliniKids would typically assess the child's sensory responses first and tailor activities accordingly. It is best to contact the clinic to discuss what a session might look like for your child.
