Services Kristie Ellis offers for autism
Kristie Ellis provides occupational therapy support tailored to help children with autism spectrum disorder develop skills for everyday living and learning. Through individualised assessment and intervention, the clinic addresses common areas of need including sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, and self-care routines. Examples of activities used at Kristie Ellis include sensory integration work with items like weighted blankets and fidget tools to help regulate responses to environmental stimuli, fine-motor exercises such as threading, cutting, and handwriting practice to build coordination, and the development of visual schedules and routines to support transitions and independence. The clinic works with families to understand each child's unique profile and strengths. Many families access services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can support ongoing therapy. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; however, they work collaboratively with other professionals and families to support skill development and participation in daily 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 an occupational therapist diagnose autism?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. However, occupational therapists like those at Kristie Ellis can assess how autism affects your child's daily functioning and provide targeted support to help with sensory, motor, and self-care skills.
How can occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy focuses on helping children participate in everyday activities. For children with autism, this might include managing sensory sensitivities, developing fine motor skills for writing and eating, building independence in self-care routines, and improving social participation. Kristie Ellis tailors interventions to each child's individual needs and strengths.
