Services Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy provides early intervention support for children with autism spectrum disorder, focusing on developing skills that support everyday participation at home, school and in the community. Early intervention during the preschool and early primary years can help children build confidence in self-care routines, social interaction and learning readiness. At Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy, therapists work with children using tailored, play-based activities that suit their individual needs and interests. Examples include sensory motor activities such as obstacle courses and weighted equipment use to support body awareness and regulation; fine motor skill building through cooking, craft and threading activities; and visual supports and structured routines to aid transitions and task completion. The clinic is registered with the NDIS, meaning families with NDIS plans can access early intervention services under their funding allocations for the 2025–26 financial year and beyond. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism; however, they work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support children's participation and independence in meaningful daily activities.

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?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists.
