Services Janine Painter Occupational Therapist offers for autism
Janine Painter Occupational Therapist provides autism support services focused on helping children develop everyday skills and manage sensory experiences that may feel overwhelming. Children with autism often benefit from occupational therapy tailored to their individual needs, whether that's managing transitions, building independence in self-care routines, or navigating sensory sensitivities. At Janine Painter Occupational Therapist, interventions might include structured visual schedules to support predictability during daily routines, sensory-based activities such as weighted equipment use or movement breaks to help regulate arousal levels, and fine-motor skill development through play-based activities like threading, cutting, or handwriting practice. The clinic works collaboratively with families to identify priorities that matter most in the child's everyday life. Many families access occupational therapy services through NDIS funding, which can support ongoing therapy under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. Whether your child is newly diagnosed or has been navigating autism for some time, occupational therapy focuses on building confidence, independence, and participation in activities that are meaningful to your family.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose autism?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or other developmental conditions. However, they work with children who have an autism diagnosis to address specific challenges with daily living skills, sensory processing, fine and gross motor development, and participation in everyday activities. If you're concerned about your child's development, your GP or paediatrician can arrange appropriate assessments.
How does Janine Painter Occupational Therapist tailor therapy to my child's needs?
Janine Painter Occupational Therapist begins with a thorough assessment to understand your child's strengths, challenges, and what matters most to your family. Therapy is individualised based on these findings, focusing on practical goals like self-care routines, play skills, or managing sensory sensitivities. Regular communication with families ensures the approach remains responsive to your child's progress.
