Services Everyday Independence offers for autism
Everyday Independence provides early intervention services specifically designed to support children with autism spectrum disorder in developing everyday skills and independence. Through occupational therapy, the clinic helps children build confidence in daily activities such as self-care routines, play, and social participation. Early intervention is particularly valuable during the formative years, as it can help establish positive patterns and reduce anxiety around new experiences. At Everyday Independence, interventions might include sensory-based activities like using weighted equipment or sensory swings to help regulate responses to environmental stimuli, fine-motor exercises such as threading, cutting, and handwriting practice to develop coordination, and the use of visual schedules to support transitions and routine understanding. The clinic works with families to embed these strategies into everyday routines at home and in the community. For families with NDIS plans, Everyday Independence is registered to provide early intervention supports, helping you access funding for therapy sessions under the 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements. The team collaborates with you to identify goals that matter most to your child and family.

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. However, OTs at Everyday Independence can identify functional difficulties with daily activities and sensory processing, and work alongside your child's medical team. If you're concerned about autism, your GP or paediatrician can arrange formal assessment. Once diagnosed, occupational therapy supports the skills and independence your child needs.
How does early intervention help children with autism?
Early intervention focuses on building everyday skills, managing sensory sensitivities, and increasing confidence during formative years. Everyday Independence uses tailored strategies—like visual supports, sensory activities, and routine-based practice—to help children develop independence in self-care, play, and social situations. Starting early can help establish positive patterns and reduce anxiety.
How do I access Everyday Independence services through the NDIS?
Everyday Independence is NDIS registered, so you can use your plan funding for early intervention services. Contact the clinic to discuss your child's needs and goals. They'll work with you to understand your NDIS plan and how occupational therapy supports fit within your allocated funding for the 2025-26 financial year.
