Autism Support at Motion Health Kids Therapy — Alderley, QLD

Motion Health Kids Therapy supports children with autism spectrum disorder through targeted occupational therapy addressing two key areas: sensory processing and fine motor skills. Children with autism often experience sensory sensitivities—some seek intense input while others find everyday sounds or textures overwhelming. Motion Health Kids Therapy uses evidence-based strategies like sensory swing work, weighted blankets, and tactile exploration activities to help children regulate their responses and feel more comfortable in their environment. Fine motor difficulties can affect handwriting, self-care tasks, and play. The clinic offers interventions such as threading activities, scissor practice, and adaptive pencil grips to build strength and coordination. Each child's programme is individualised, recognising that autism presents differently for every child. If your family has NDIS funding, Motion Health Kids Therapy can discuss how occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan for the 2025-26 financial year. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; however, they work collaboratively with your child's existing diagnosis to address functional challenges in daily life.
