Autism Support at Hop & Learn Children's Therapy — Across VIC
Hop & Learn Children's Therapy in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Hop & Learn Children's Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily functioning, learning, and social participation. Hop & Learn Children's Therapy supports these children through targeted sensory processing interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory input from their environment. Our occupational therapists work with each child to identify their sensory needs and preferences, then implement tailored strategies. Examples of interventions include using sensory swings and weighted blankets to provide calming input, engaging in fine-motor activities like threading beads or scissor work to build hand strength and coordination, and creating structured routines with visual schedules to support predictability and reduce anxiety. These approaches help children develop self-regulation skills, improve focus during learning, and increase confidence in everyday activities. At Hop & Learn Children's Therapy, we recognise that sensory processing support is often a key component of comprehensive autism support. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26), which can cover occupational therapy for eligible participants. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure interventions complement the child's broader support plan and goals.

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 help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy can support many children with autism by addressing sensory processing, fine-motor skills, self-care routines, and daily living activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism. If you're seeking diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist. Hop & Learn Children's Therapy can work with your child once autism has been identified by a medical professional.
How does NDIS funding work with Hop & Learn Children's Therapy?
If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy services may be funded as part of your supports. Hop & Learn Children's Therapy is NDIS-registered, meaning we can provide services to eligible participants. We recommend discussing your child's goals with your NDIS planner to determine whether occupational therapy is included in your plan for 2025-26.
What should I expect in a sensory processing session?
Sessions typically involve play-based activities tailored to your child's sensory preferences and goals. Your occupational therapist might use swings, weighted equipment, or fine-motor activities, and will observe how your child responds. You'll receive strategies to use at home. Sessions are individualised—there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
