Autism Support at Everyday Independence — Across VIC
Everyday Independence in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Everyday Independence offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. Everyday Independence supports children by addressing sensory processing challenges through tailored occupational therapy. Our therapists work with children to help them better understand and respond to sensory input in their environment. For example, we use sensory swings and weighted equipment to help children regulate their nervous system and improve body awareness. We also incorporate fine-motor activities like threading, cutting, and handwriting practice to build skills needed for school and self-care tasks. Visual schedules and structured routines are implemented to support transitions and reduce anxiety. Everyday Independence recognises that each child's sensory needs are unique, and therapy is individualised accordingly. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025–26 scheme, occupational therapy services may be covered as part of your plan. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with our team to explore how sensory processing support can help them participate more confidently in everyday activities at home, school, and in the community.

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 diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing difficulties. However, our team at Everyday Independence can observe how your child processes sensory information and identify strategies to support their participation in daily activities. A formal diagnosis comes from a medical professional or psychologist. We work collaboratively with other professionals involved in your child's care.
How does Everyday Independence tailor therapy for my child's sensory needs?
We begin with observation and discussion about your child's specific sensory responses and daily challenges. Our occupational therapists then design activities and strategies matched to your child's needs—whether that's calming input, movement opportunities, or structured routines. We involve you in the process so strategies can be used at home and school too.
Will NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at Everyday Independence?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy services under the 2025–26 scheme if your child is eligible and sensory processing support is included in your plan. We recommend checking your NDIS plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child. We're happy to answer questions about funding arrangements.
