Autism Support at Grace Children's Therapy — Across NSW

Grace Children's Therapy supports children with autism spectrum disorder through three interconnected service areas. Our autism-focused occupational therapy addresses the everyday challenges many autistic children face, including sensory sensitivities, motor coordination, and self-regulation. Sensory processing support helps children manage responses to sounds, textures, lights, and movement—for example, we might use sensory swings or weighted blankets during sessions to help regulate nervous system responses. Fine motor intervention develops skills like handwriting, fastening buttons, and using utensils through structured, play-based activities tailored to each child's interests. Grace Children's Therapy recognises that these areas often overlap; a child struggling with pencil grip might also experience sensory defensiveness around certain textures, requiring coordinated support. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families to understand each child's unique profile and goals. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder, we can identify functional difficulties and support development across self-care, learning, and play. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though we also support families using private or other funding arrangements. We're committed to helping each child build confidence and independence in their daily activities.
