Autism Support at LEAP Centre — Across NSW
LEAP Centre in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services LEAP Centre offers for autism
LEAP Centre supports children with autism spectrum disorder by addressing two key areas that often impact daily functioning: sensory processing and fine motor skills. Children on the autism spectrum frequently experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their ability to concentrate, regulate emotions, and participate in everyday activities. Through sensory processing support, LEAP Centre helps children develop strategies to manage sensory input—for example, using weighted equipment during activities, working with sensory swings to improve body awareness, or creating calm spaces with specific sensory tools tailored to each child's needs. Fine motor difficulties can make tasks like writing, dressing, and self-care challenging. LEAP Centre's fine motor interventions include structured activities such as threading, scissor work, and hand-strengthening exercises that build the precise movements needed for school and home tasks. As an NDIS-registered provider, LEAP Centre can support families accessing funding under the 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements, helping to make these services more accessible. Every child's needs are unique, and LEAP Centre works collaboratively with families to develop individualised therapy plans that address their specific challenges 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 help my child with autism?
Occupational therapists at LEAP Centre can support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences and fine motor challenges that may affect daily activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—diagnosis is completed by medical professionals. LEAP Centre focuses on helping your child develop practical skills and strategies to participate more confidently in school, home, and community activities.
How does LEAP Centre use NDIS funding?
LEAP Centre is NDIS-registered and can work with families who have autism-related supports in their NDIS plans. Therapy sessions can be funded through NDIS under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements. We recommend discussing your child's plan with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator to confirm which services are covered and how LEAP Centre can support your funding.
What should I expect in my first appointment?
During an initial appointment at LEAP Centre, the occupational therapist will gather information about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. They'll observe how your child engages with activities and discuss your priorities as a family. This helps create a personalised therapy plan focused on goals that matter most to you and your child.
