Services Connect2Care offers for autism
Connect2Care lists early intervention as a service offered to children with autism spectrum disorder. Early intervention in occupational therapy typically focuses on supporting children's everyday skills and participation during the critical early years. According to the clinic's listing, early intervention services may address areas such as sensory processing, fine and gross motor development, self-care routines, and play skills.
Examples of activities that occupational therapists commonly use in early intervention include sensory play with different textures and movement experiences (such as play with kinetic sand or supervised climbing activities), fine-motor exercises like threading beads or using adaptive utensils during mealtimes, and the introduction of visual supports or structured routines to support transitions between activities. Connect2Care, listed as NDIS registered, may support families to access early intervention services through NDIS funding where eligible. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. Early intervention is most effective when started as early as possible and tailored to each child's individual strengths and support needs. The specific activities and goals would be determined through assessment and planning with the therapy team at Connect2Care.

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 spectrum disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians, psychiatrists, or developmental paediatricians. However, occupational therapists can assess how autism may affect a child's everyday skills and participation, and can provide therapy to support areas such as sensory processing, motor skills, and self-care routines.
Does Connect2Care accept NDIS funding?
Connect2Care is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory listing. However, NDIS registration status has not been independently verified by OTWaitlist. If your child has an NDIS plan, it is recommended to contact the clinic directly to confirm current registration, eligibility criteria, and how to arrange services under your plan.
What age children does early intervention support?
Early intervention typically targets children from birth through to school age, with the most critical period being the first few years of life. Early intervention services aim to support development during this formative time. Contact Connect2Care directly to discuss the age range they work with and whether they can support your child's specific needs and circumstances.
