Autism Support at Kids At Max — Bentleigh East, VIC

Kids At Max provides occupational therapy support for children with autism spectrum disorder, focusing on developing skills that support everyday participation at home, school and in the community. Our therapists work with each child's unique strengths and challenges to build confidence and independence. For children who experience sensory sensitivities—common in autism—we use tailored sensory activities such as weighted blanket work and controlled exposure to different textures to help with regulation. Fine motor skill development is another key focus, with Kids At Max offering activities like threading, scissor work and handwriting practice to support self-care and learning tasks. We also help children develop social communication skills through structured play activities and visual supports that make expectations clearer. Many families access Kids At Max services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy for eligible participants. Our team works collaboratively with families and schools to ensure strategies are consistent across settings, supporting the child's overall development and wellbeing.
