Autism Support at Learning in Steps — Across NSW
Learning in Steps in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Learning in Steps offers for autism
Learning in Steps provides occupational therapy support tailored to help children with autism spectrum disorder develop skills for everyday life. Our therapists work with children to build confidence in self-care routines, social interactions, and managing sensory experiences that may feel overwhelming. Through individualised sessions, we might use strategies like visual schedules to support transitions between activities, sensory-based activities such as weighted equipment or movement breaks to help with self-regulation, and fine-motor exercises to improve handwriting and daily living skills. Learning in Steps recognises that every child with autism has unique strengths and challenges, so we develop therapy plans that work with your child's individual needs. If you're accessing support through the NDIS, occupational therapy is a funded service under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements. We recommend discussing your child's needs with your GP or paediatrician, who can provide referrals. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, we work collaboratively with your child's broader support team to help them thrive 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.
