Services Koala Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd 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. Koala Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd offers sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness and responses to sensory input in their environment. Our occupational therapists use tailored sensory activities to help children regulate their responses to sounds, textures, movement, and visual stimuli. Examples of interventions include using weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, engaging children in controlled movement activities such as swinging or trampolining to improve body awareness, and introducing graded exposure to different textures through play-based activities. These strategies help children become more comfortable in everyday situations like classroom settings, family gatherings, and community outings. Many families access support through NDIS funding for 2025–26, which can cover occupational therapy services. While Koala Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd is not confirmed as NDIS-registered, our team can discuss funding options and support pathways with families. It's important to note that occupational therapists do not diagnose autism; however, we work collaboratively with other professionals to support children's participation and independence.

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 who struggles with sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists at Koala Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd can work with children to develop strategies for managing sensory sensitivities. We use graded, play-based activities to help children become more comfortable with different sensory experiences. However, occupational therapists do not diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder—this is done by other healthcare professionals.
What does a typical sensory processing session look like?
Sessions are individualised based on your child's needs and interests. Activities might include movement-based play, tactile exploration, or use of equipment like swings or weighted items. Sessions are designed to be engaging and fun while helping your child develop better sensory awareness and regulation skills in a supportive environment.

Koala Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd's NDIS registration status is not confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss your funding options and how we can support your family. Our team can provide guidance on accessing occupational therapy services for 2025–26.
