Autism Support at Confident Kids — Across NSW
Confident Kids in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Confident Kids offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in sensory processing and fine motor development, which can affect daily activities like eating, writing, and managing transitions. At Confident Kids, our occupational therapists work with these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support might include activities such as using sensory swings or weighted blankets to help regulate responses to touch and movement, or structured play with different textures to build comfort with varied sensations. Fine motor work focuses on strengthening hand skills needed for writing, fastening buttons, or using utensils—for example, through play-based activities like threading, scissor work, and hand-strengthening games. Confident Kids can help families understand how sensory and motor differences show up in your child's everyday routines and suggest practical strategies for home and school. Many families access these services through NDIS funding; whilst we cannot confirm current registration status, we encourage you to discuss funding options when you contact us. Our approach recognises that every child is unique, and we work collaboratively with families to support participation in activities that matter most to them.

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 diagnose autism?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. However, occupational therapists at Confident Kids can identify sensory processing and fine motor differences and provide support to help your child participate more comfortably in daily activities, regardless of diagnosis.
How can NDIS funding help pay for services at Confident Kids?
Many families use NDIS funding to access occupational therapy services. We recommend checking your child's NDIS plan to see if therapy supports are included. Contact Confident Kids directly to discuss your funding options and how we might work with your plan. Funding arrangements vary, and our team can help clarify what's available for the 2025–26 financial year.
What should I expect in a first session at Confident Kids?
Your occupational therapist will spend time getting to know your child and understanding what activities are most important to your family—whether that's mealtimes, schoolwork, or play. They'll observe how your child manages sensory experiences and fine motor tasks, then discuss observations with you and work together to plan next steps tailored to your child's needs.
