Autism Support at Kids First Therapy Hub — Across NSW
Kids First Therapy Hub in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Kids First Therapy Hub offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily functioning, learning, and social participation. Kids First Therapy Hub offers sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory input from their environment. Our occupational therapists work with children using tailored sensory activities designed to meet their individual needs. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted equipment to help children regulate their nervous system and improve body awareness, or incorporate fine-motor activities like threading, cutting, and manipulation tasks that build confidence and independence. Visual schedules and structured routines are also used to support predictability and reduce anxiety during transitions. Kids First Therapy Hub can discuss how occupational therapy services may be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 pricing arrangements) if your child is registered, or through private health insurance and out-of-pocket fees. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; however, we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to support their development and participation in meaningful activities at home, school, and in the community.

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 occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy can support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences, fine and gross motor skills, self-care routines, and social participation. Kids First Therapy Hub works with each child's unique strengths and challenges. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—that's done by medical professionals. We focus on helping your child develop skills and strategies to participate more fully in daily life.
How much does therapy cost, and can the NDIS help pay for it?
Costs vary depending on the type and frequency of therapy. If your child is NDIS-registered, occupational therapy services may be funded under your plan according to 2025-26 pricing arrangements. Kids First Therapy Hub can discuss funding options with you, including private health insurance and self-funded sessions. Contact the clinic directly for a detailed fee schedule and to explore what might work for your family.
What should I expect in the first session at Kids First Therapy Hub?
The first session typically involves getting to know your child and understanding their sensory preferences, daily routines, and goals. The occupational therapist will observe how your child engages with activities and may ask questions about home and school. This helps create a personalised plan. Sessions are play-based and child-centred, making them engaging and comfortable for your child.
