Autism Support at Conscious Healthcare SA — Across SA
Conscious Healthcare SA in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Conscious Healthcare SA offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily functioning, learning, and social participation. Conscious Healthcare SA provides sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory input from their environment. Through tailored occupational therapy, children may work with weighted blankets or vests to improve body awareness, engage in structured sensory activities like obstacle courses or tactile play to build tolerance and regulation, and use visual supports alongside sensory strategies to manage transitions. These interventions are designed to support self-regulation, reduce anxiety, and help children participate more comfortably in everyday activities at home, school, and in the community. Conscious Healthcare SA is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (2025–26) to support these services. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder; however, they can work collaboratively with your child's existing diagnosis to address functional challenges related to sensory processing and daily living skills.

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 or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder. However, they can assess how sensory differences affect your child's daily functioning and work with you and your child's medical team to support their needs. Conscious Healthcare SA's therapists collaborate with your child's existing diagnosis to address functional challenges.
How can I access Conscious Healthcare SA's services through the NDIS?
Conscious Healthcare SA is NDIS registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy funding, you can contact the clinic to discuss how their sensory processing services align with your child's goals. They can help you understand how funding can be used for their support.
What should I expect during a sensory processing session?
Sessions are individualised based on your child's needs and preferences. Your child might engage in activities like using sensory equipment, practising fine-motor skills, or working with visual supports to support regulation and daily functioning. The therapist will involve you in planning so strategies can be used at home too.
