Services cohealth Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. At cohealth Occupational Therapy in Across, our occupational therapists work with children to build confidence and independence in these areas. Sensory processing support helps children manage responses to sounds, textures, movement and touch through tailored activities—such as using sensory swings, weighted blankets or fidget tools during sessions. Fine motor work focuses on skills like pencil grip, scissor use and hand strength through play-based exercises including threading activities, playdough manipulation and adaptive utensil practice. These interventions are designed around each child's individual needs and interests. Many families access cohealth Occupational Therapy services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy supports under appropriate plan categories for the 2025-26 financial year. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs and funding options during an initial consultation. Our therapists collaborate with families, schools and other professionals to support your child's participation in everyday activities at home and in the community.

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.
