Services Everyday Independence offers for autism
Everyday Independence supports children with autism spectrum disorder through early intervention services that focus on building independence in daily activities and managing sensory sensitivities. Early intervention is most effective when started as early as possible, helping children develop skills that support participation at home, school, and in the community. At Everyday Independence, occupational therapists work with children on practical strategies tailored to their individual needs. Examples of interventions include using sensory tools like weighted blankets or fidget equipment to support self-regulation, practising fine-motor skills through play-based activities such as threading or drawing, and developing visual schedules to support transitions between activities. The clinic also helps families understand their child's sensory preferences and create supportive environments. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. Everyday Independence is NDIS registered, making it straightforward for families to use their plans. Early intervention through occupational therapy can help children with autism develop confidence and reduce anxiety around daily routines, though outcomes vary between individuals.

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, they can identify difficulties with daily living skills, sensory processing, and motor coordination that may be associated with autism. If you're concerned about your child's development, your GP or paediatrician can arrange formal assessment and diagnosis. Everyday Independence can then support your child with strategies and skills development once a diagnosis is established.
How does early intervention help my child with autism?
Early intervention focuses on building practical skills and independence in everyday activities like self-care, play, and communication. Starting early helps children develop confidence and establish helpful routines. Occupational therapists at Everyday Independence work with your child's strengths and interests, using play-based activities to make learning engaging. Early support can also reduce anxiety and support better participation at home and school.
Can I use my NDIS plan to access services at Everyday Independence?

The NDIS (2025-26) covers occupational therapy for eligible children. Contact Everyday Independence directly to discuss your plan and how they can support your child's goals.
