Autism Support at Kid Speak — Across WA
Kid Speak in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Kid Speak offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in sensory processing and fine motor development, which can impact daily activities like eating, writing, and self-care. Kid Speak supports these areas through targeted occupational therapy interventions. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement—for example, using weighted blankets or cushions during activities, or practising tolerance with different tactile materials like sand and playdough. Fine motor therapy addresses hand strength and coordination through engaging activities such as threading beads, scissor skills practice, and handwriting exercises tailored to each child's needs. Kid Speak's therapists work collaboratively with families to embed these strategies into everyday routines at home and school. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder, they can identify and address the functional challenges that often accompany it. Many families access Kid Speak's services through NDIS funding; however, registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements may support eligible participants in accessing these services.

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 assess and support the sensory and fine motor difficulties that often accompany autism. If you're seeking a diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist. Kid Speak's therapists work with your child's existing diagnosis to address functional challenges in daily activities.
Does Kid Speak accept NDIS funding?
Kid Speak's NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. If your child is NDIS-eligible, the 2025-26 pricing arrangements may support access to occupational therapy services. We recommend contacting Kid Speak to discuss funding options and how therapy can be incorporated into your child's NDIS plan.
What can I expect during sensory and fine motor therapy?
Sessions are tailored to your child's individual needs and interests. Sensory work might include movement activities, texture exploration, or use of weighted equipment to help with regulation. Fine motor therapy focuses on hand strength and coordination through play-based activities like drawing, threading, or self-care tasks. Kid Speak's therapists will share strategies you can practise at home.
