Services Independent Kids and Adults offers for autism
Early intervention is crucial for children with autism spectrum disorder, and Independent Kids and Adults offers occupational therapy support to help children develop essential skills during their formative years. Through early intervention, our clinic works with children to build confidence in daily activities, improve sensory processing, and develop communication and social skills. Specific interventions might include sensory play activities using items like textured materials and movement equipment to help regulate responses to sensory input, fine motor skill development through activities such as threading, cutting, and handwriting practice, and the use of visual supports and structured routines to aid understanding and independence. Independent Kids and Adults can also support families in accessing NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply) if your child is eligible, helping to cover the cost of ongoing therapy. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to create individualised plans that address your child's specific needs and goals, recognising that every child's experience of autism is unique.

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 children with autism by addressing sensory sensitivities, developing daily living skills, improving fine and gross motor coordination, and building confidence in everyday activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—this requires assessment by a medical professional. Independent Kids and Adults can work with your child to develop skills and strategies tailored to their individual needs.
How can NDIS funding help cover therapy costs?
If your child is eligible for NDIS support, funding can be allocated towards occupational therapy services. The 2025-26 pricing arrangements set out how much therapy is funded. Independent Kids and Adults can discuss eligibility and how to access NDIS support, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
What should I expect during early intervention therapy?
Early intervention typically involves regular sessions where the occupational therapist works with your child on specific skills and goals, such as sensory regulation, self-care routines, or motor development. Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests. Independent Kids and Adults will involve you as a parent, providing strategies to support your child's progress at home.
