Kickstart Kids Therapy Centre in Randwick, NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Kickstart Kids Therapy Centre offers for autism
Kickstart Kids Therapy Centre supports children with autism spectrum disorder through tailored occupational therapy addressing core challenges many autistic children experience. Our autism service focuses on developing everyday skills, social participation, and managing sensory differences that can impact learning and wellbeing. Our sensory processing service complements this by helping children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement—common areas of difficulty for autistic children. At Kickstart Kids Therapy Centre, we use evidence-informed strategies including sensory diet activities (such as weighted blanket use and proprioceptive input through resistance exercises), structured visual schedules to support transitions and routines, and fine-motor skill development through play-based activities like threading, cutting, and handwriting practice. These interventions are designed collaboratively with families to support participation at home, school, and in the community. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible participants. We work with you to identify meaningful goals and practical strategies that fit your child's strengths and interests.

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. Diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or developmental specialist. However, our team at Kickstart Kids Therapy Centre can identify sensory and functional difficulties and support your child's development once a diagnosis has been made by an appropriate medical professional.
How does NDIS funding work with Kickstart Kids Therapy Centre?
If your child is NDIS-eligible, funding can cover occupational therapy sessions. We're registered NDIS providers, so we can bill your plan directly. We'll work with you to understand your child's plan allocation and help plan sessions that align with your goals and budget for 2025-26.
What should I expect in a typical session?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and may include sensory activities, skill-building exercises, play-based learning, and parent coaching. We focus on practical strategies you can use at home. Our therapists work collaboratively with you to ensure therapy supports real-life participation and engagement.
