Autism Support at Live & Learn Therapy — Across NSW
Live & Learn Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Live & Learn Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily functioning, comfort, and participation in activities. Live & Learn Therapy offers sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory input from their environment. During sessions, occupational therapists may use strategies such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming deep pressure input, sensory swings or trampolines to help with balance and body awareness, and structured activities like threading beads or playing with textured materials to build fine motor skills alongside sensory regulation. These interventions are tailored to each child's individual sensory profile and goals. Live & Learn Therapy works with families to understand how sensory differences impact school participation, self-care routines, and social engagement. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder, they can assess sensory processing patterns and recommend practical strategies for home and school. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply), and Live & Learn Therapy can discuss funding options during your initial consultation.

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 or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder. However, they can assess how your child processes sensory information and identify patterns that may be affecting their daily activities. A formal diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or developmental specialist. Live & Learn Therapy works alongside these professionals as part of your child's support team.
How do I know if my child would benefit from sensory processing support?
Children who struggle with sensory sensitivities—such as avoiding certain textures, sounds, or lights; seeking intense movement or input; or having difficulty with self-care routines like showering or eating—may benefit from sensory support. Live & Learn Therapy can discuss your child's specific concerns during an initial consultation and help determine whether occupational therapy is appropriate for your family's needs.
Does Live & Learn Therapy accept NDIS funding?
Live & Learn Therapy's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options available to your family, including potential NDIS arrangements for 2025-26 and any private or other funding pathways they may support.
