Autism Support at Kids Matters OT — Aspley, QLD
Kids Matters OT in Aspley, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Kids Matters OT offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor skills, which can impact their daily functioning and participation in school and home activities. Kids Matters OT in Aspley provides targeted support in both these areas. Our sensory processing interventions help children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures and movement—for example, we might use sensory swings, weighted blankets, or tactile play activities to help calm or alert the nervous system as needed. Fine motor therapy addresses difficulties with handwriting, self-care tasks and play skills through structured activities like threading, scissor work, and hand-strengthening exercises. Kids Matters OT tailors each programme to the child's individual sensory profile and motor needs. As an NDIS-registered provider, we can support families accessing funding through the 2025-26 scheme, making these services more accessible. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose autism, our assessment and intervention can significantly improve a child's independence and confidence in everyday tasks.

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?
Yes. Occupational therapy addresses practical challenges many autistic children face, such as sensory sensitivities, fine motor difficulties, and self-care routines. Kids Matters OT works with each child's individual needs to build skills and independence. However, OT cannot diagnose autism—that requires a medical professional. We focus on supporting function and participation in daily activities.
How does Kids Matters OT support sensory needs?
We assess how your child responds to sensory input and create individualised strategies. This might include sensory activities like swinging, weighted equipment, or textured play to help regulate their nervous system. We also provide advice for managing sensory challenges at home and school, helping your child feel more comfortable in their environment.
Can we use NDIS funding for therapy at Kids Matters OT?
Yes, Kids Matters OT is NDIS-registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan with occupational therapy funding, you can access our services. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child's goals within the 2025-26 funding arrangements.
