Autism Support at Everyday Independence — Across SA
Everyday Independence in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Everyday Independence offers for autism
Everyday Independence supports children with autism spectrum disorder through tailored occupational therapy that addresses the sensory and functional challenges many autistic children experience. Sensory processing differences are common in autism, and our clinic uses evidence-based interventions to help children better manage sensory input and develop coping strategies. At Everyday Independence, we might use sensory activities such as weighted blanket trials, deep pressure techniques, or structured play with textured materials to help regulate nervous system responses. We also support children in developing daily living skills—like dressing, eating, and self-care routines—through visual schedules, task breakdown, and environmental modifications that reduce anxiety. Fine motor activities, including handwriting practice and play-based manipulation tasks, help build confidence in school and home settings. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder, we work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's participation in everyday activities. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements), which can cover individualised therapy plans. Everyday Independence takes a strengths-based approach, focusing on what your child can do and building from there.

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 psychologists. However, our OTs at Everyday Independence work with children who have been diagnosed with autism, supporting their sensory needs, daily living skills, and participation in school and home activities.
How does sensory therapy help my autistic child?
Many autistic children experience sensory sensitivities—finding certain sounds, textures, or movements overwhelming or seeking more sensory input. Occupational therapy helps children recognise their sensory needs and develop strategies to self-regulate. This might include movement breaks, fidget tools, or modified environments that reduce stress and improve focus.
Does Everyday Independence accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Everyday Independence directly to confirm current NDIS registration and funding arrangements for 2025-26. Many families use NDIS plans to access occupational therapy services. Our team can discuss funding options and how therapy might be structured to support your child's goals.
