Autism Support at Inside Out Therapy — Burpengary, QLD

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills, which can affect daily activities like eating, writing, and self-care. Inside Out Therapy's occupational therapists address these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support might include activities such as using a sensory swing to help regulate movement and balance, or working with weighted equipment like lap pads during focused tasks to improve body awareness and calm responses. Fine motor work focuses on building hand strength and coordination through play-based activities—for example, threading beads, scissor skills practice, or finger painting—that make learning feel natural and enjoyable. Inside Out Therapy recognises that each child's needs are unique, so therapy is individualised to support their specific sensory preferences and motor development. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when autism is identified as a primary disability. Our Burpengary clinic works collaboratively with families and other professionals to help children participate more confidently in school, home, and community activities.
