Autism Support at Cross Care — Across NSW
Cross Care in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Cross Care offers for autism
Cross Care supports children with autism spectrum disorder by addressing two key areas that often impact daily functioning: sensory processing and fine motor skills. Children on the autism spectrum frequently experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their ability to concentrate, participate in activities, and regulate their emotions. Through sensory processing support, Cross Care uses tailored interventions such as sensory swing work, weighted equipment use, and movement-based activities to help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation. Fine motor difficulties are also common, affecting handwriting, self-care tasks, and play skills. Cross Care's fine motor interventions include precision grip exercises, threading activities, and adaptive writing strategies to build strength and coordination. These services work together to help children develop greater independence and confidence in school and home environments. If your child has an NDIS plan, many of these occupational therapy services may be funded under your support package for the 2025-26 financial year. Cross Care can discuss funding eligibility and how therapy goals align with your plan. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; however, they can identify functional challenges and support skill development across daily activities.

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 occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapists like those at Cross Care can support children with autism by addressing specific functional challenges in sensory processing and fine motor skills. They cannot diagnose autism, but they work with your child's existing diagnosis to improve daily living skills, school participation, and independence. Therapy is tailored to your child's individual needs and goals.
Will NDIS funding cover therapy at Cross Care?
Many occupational therapy services may be covered under NDIS plans for the 2025-26 financial year, depending on your child's plan and goals. Cross Care can discuss your funding eligibility and help you understand how therapy aligns with your support package. Contact the clinic directly to confirm their current registration status and funding arrangements.
What can I expect during my child's first appointment?
Cross Care will typically conduct an initial assessment to understand your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. The occupational therapist will observe how your child engages with activities and discuss your concerns and goals. They'll then develop a personalised therapy plan and explain how sessions will support your child's development and participation at home and school.
