Autism Support at Kerri-Anne Harris — Ipswich, QLD

Kerri-Anne Harris lists sensory processing and fine motor skills as areas of support. For children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing difficulties are common and can affect how a child responds to sounds, textures, movement, and light. The clinic's sensory processing service may address these through activities such as work with sensory equipment (for example, weighted blankets or fidget tools), movement-based activities, or graded exposure to different textures and environments. Fine motor skills—the small, controlled movements needed for tasks like writing, fastening buttons, or using cutlery—are also frequently areas where autistic children benefit from targeted support. Kerri-Anne Harris lists fine motor intervention, which might include hand strength exercises, pencil grip practice, or play-based activities that build coordination and dexterity.

Occupational therapy services listed by Kerri-Anne Harris may be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible participants; however, NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should contact the clinic directly to clarify funding eligibility and arrangements for the 2025-26 financial year. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. However, therapy can support functional skills and participation in daily activities once a diagnosis is established.
