Autism Support at LifeLift — Forrestdale, WA

LifeLift, a paediatric occupational therapy clinic located in Forrestdale, WA, lists both autism and sensory processing among its services. According to its directory listing, the clinic offers support that may address sensory processing differences commonly experienced by autistic children. Sensory processing support typically involves activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input—such as touch, movement, sound, and visual stimuli. LifeLift's listed services may include interventions like sensory motor activities using equipment such as swings or weighted tools, fine motor skill development through structured play and craft activities, and environmental modifications to support focus and comfort. For example, a child who finds certain textures overwhelming might work with a therapist on graded exposure and coping strategies, while another child seeking movement input might engage in controlled swinging or jumping activities. Children with autism may also benefit from visual supports and structured routines to support daily functioning and communication. LifeLift is listed as NDIS registered (self-reported), which means families may be able to access funding through NDIS plans in the 2025-26 financial year, subject to plan approval and individual circumstances. Parents considering LifeLift should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical practitioner or psychologist.
