Services Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy supports children with autism by addressing sensory processing challenges through tailored interventions. Sensory processing work helps children develop better awareness of their body in space, regulate their responses to stimuli, and build confidence in everyday situations. At Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy, this might include activities such as using sensory swings or weighted blankets to help children who seek deep pressure input, or creating calm-down spaces with reduced sensory stimulation for those who are sensitive to noise and light. Fine-motor activities like threading beads or using adaptive utensils during mealtimes can also support independence. Therapists work collaboratively with families to identify which sensory strategies work best for each child. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy supports for eligible participants. If you think your child may benefit from sensory processing support, Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy can discuss your child's needs and how therapy might help.

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 spectrum disorder. However, they can identify sensory processing differences and other functional challenges that may be present. If you're concerned about autism, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist for assessment. Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy can then support your child with any sensory or functional needs identified.
How does sensory processing therapy help my autistic child?
Sensory processing therapy helps children understand and respond to sensory information more comfortably. This might reduce anxiety, improve focus, support better sleep, or help with transitions between activities. Every child is different, so Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy tailors strategies to your child's specific sensory profile and goals.
