Autism Support at Kerri-Anne Harris — Ipswich, QLD

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. Kerri-Anne Harris offers targeted support in both areas to help children build confidence and independence in everyday activities. Sensory processing work might include activities like using a sensory swing to help regulate movement and balance, or working with weighted equipment to provide calming input during transitions. Fine motor interventions focus on developing hand strength and coordination through play-based activities—such as threading, scissor skills practice, or manipulating small objects—which support writing, self-care, and play participation. These services can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year) if your child has an approved plan, though funding arrangements vary by individual plan. Kerri-Anne Harris works collaboratively with families and other professionals to identify which areas will have the most meaningful impact on your child's daily functioning and participation at home, school, and in the community. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing differences, but can assess how these differences affect your child's occupational performance and recommend strategies to support them.
