Services Kindred Paediatric Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. Kindred Paediatric Occupational Therapy supports children by addressing sensory processing challenges through tailored interventions. Sensory processing therapy helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movements, improving their ability to engage in everyday tasks. At Kindred Paediatric Occupational Therapy, therapists may use activities such as weighted blanket work to provide calming input, obstacle course activities that develop body awareness and coordination, or exploration of different textures through play-based activities to build tolerance and confidence. These interventions are designed to help children feel more comfortable in their environment and participate more fully in school, home, and community settings. As an NDIS-registered provider, Kindred Paediatric Occupational Therapy can support families accessing NDIS funding for 2025-26, helping to make therapy accessible. Every child's sensory profile is unique, and therapy is individualised based on the child's specific needs and goals.

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 diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder. However, they can identify sensory processing differences and how these affect daily functioning. If you're concerned about your child's development or sensory responses, your GP or paediatrician can arrange appropriate assessments. Kindred Paediatric Occupational Therapy works with your child's existing diagnosis to provide targeted support.
How does NDIS funding work with Kindred Paediatric Occupational Therapy?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, you can use your funding to access occupational therapy services at Kindred Paediatric Occupational Therapy. As a registered NDIS provider, the clinic can bill your plan directly for therapy sessions. Speak with the clinic about your plan details and how to arrange services within the 2025-26 funding year.
What should I expect in a sensory processing session?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and needs. The therapist may use swings, weighted equipment, textured materials, or movement activities to help your child explore and regulate their sensory responses. Sessions typically include time for your child to engage in activities and time for the therapist to discuss progress and strategies you can use at home.
