More Than Able Therapy in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services More Than Able Therapy offers for autism
More Than Able Therapy supports children with autism spectrum disorder through targeted occupational therapy addressing two key areas: sensory processing and fine motor skills. Many autistic children experience differences in how they process sensory information—some seek intense input while others find everyday sensations overwhelming. Our sensory processing support includes activities like using sensory swings, weighted blankets, and textured play materials to help children regulate their responses and feel more comfortable in their environment. Fine motor development is equally important, as many autistic children benefit from structured practice with activities such as threading beads, scissor work, and handwriting exercises that build coordination and independence. More Than Able Therapy tailors each intervention to your child's individual needs and interests, making therapy engaging and meaningful. If you receive NDIS funding, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan for the 2025-26 financial year, depending on your child's goals and approved supports. We recommend discussing funding eligibility with your NDIS planner. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; however, we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to support their development.

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 occupational therapy help my autistic child with sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists can help children develop strategies to manage sensory sensitivities through graded exposure, environmental modifications, and sensory-based activities. More Than Able Therapy uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each child's unique sensory profile. However, an OT cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—this requires assessment by other specialists. We work alongside your child's healthcare team to support their overall wellbeing.
How can occupational therapy support my child's fine motor skills?
Fine motor skills—like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, or using cutlery—are often areas where autistic children benefit from structured practice. More Than Able Therapy uses play-based activities and graduated exercises to build strength, coordination, and confidence. We focus on functional skills that matter in your child's daily life, whether that's writing, self-care, or leisure activities.
Does More Than Able Therapy accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting More Than Able Therapy directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and funding arrangements for 2025-26. If you have NDIS funding, occupational therapy may be covered under your plan. Our team can discuss how to access services and work with your NDIS planner to ensure therapy aligns with your child's approved supports.
