Autism Support at Leaps and Bounds Disability Services — Across QLD
Leaps and Bounds Disability Services in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Leaps and Bounds Disability Services offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. At Leaps and Bounds Disability Services, our occupational therapists address these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement—for example, we might use a sensory swing to provide calming vestibular input, or introduce weighted equipment like lap pads to help with focus during activities. Fine motor work develops the small muscle control needed for writing, self-care tasks, and play; this might include threading activities, scissor practice, or hand-strengthening exercises adapted to each child's interests. Our team works within the NDIS framework (2025-26 funding arrangements), helping families access support through their plans. Leaps and Bounds Disability Services recognises that every child is unique, and we collaborate with families and other professionals to create meaningful, functional goals. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose autism, it plays an important role in supporting the everyday skills and sensory needs that matter most to your child.

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.

Yes. Occupational therapists at Leaps and Bounds Disability Services support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences and fine motor development. We focus on practical skills for daily life—like self-care, play, and learning—rather than changing your child. We cannot diagnose autism, but we work with your child's existing diagnosis to provide meaningful support.
