Autism Support at Foundations Therapy & Support — VIC

Foundations Therapy & Support lists three services relevant to supporting children with autism spectrum disorder: autism, sensory processing, and fine motor skills. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory processing by working with children who may experience sensory sensitivities or difficulties with sensory regulation—common experiences for autistic children. This might involve activities such as use of sensory equipment, environmental modifications, or graded exposure to different textures and sounds. Fine motor support listed by Foundations Therapy & Support typically focuses on skills like handwriting, fastening buttons, using cutlery, or manipulating small objects, which autistic children may find challenging or approach differently. The clinic also lists autism as a service area, though occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder—diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. Rather, Foundations Therapy & Support may support autistic children by addressing functional difficulties in daily activities, self-care routines, and participation in school or community settings. Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding; however, NDIS registration for Foundations Therapy & Support has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents considering this clinic should verify current registration status and funding eligibility directly with the service.
