Autism Support at MPower Physical Therapy — Across NSW
MPower Physical Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services MPower Physical Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in sensory processing and fine motor development, which can affect daily activities like eating, writing, and self-care. MPower Physical Therapy offers occupational therapy services that address these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to sounds, textures, and movement—for example, using a sensory swing to provide calming vestibular input, or working with different textured materials during play-based activities to build tolerance. Fine motor therapy focuses on hand strength and coordination needed for tasks like fastening buttons, holding utensils, or drawing; this might include threading activities, playdough manipulation, or pencil grip exercises. MPower Physical Therapy is NDIS-registered, meaning families with NDIS plans can access these services with plan funding (2025-26 rates apply). An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism, but they can assess how sensory and motor differences impact your child's participation in school, home, and community settings. Working collaboratively with your child's team, MPower Physical Therapy supports functional skills development in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

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. However, they can assess how sensory processing and fine motor skills affect your child's daily functioning and participation. If you're seeking an autism diagnosis, you'll need to see a paediatrician or developmental specialist. MPower Physical Therapy works alongside your child's diagnostic and support team.
How does NDIS funding work with MPower Physical Therapy?
MPower Physical Therapy is NDIS-registered, so if your child has an approved NDIS plan with occupational therapy funding, sessions can be claimed against your plan budget. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements apply. It's best to check your plan details and contact the clinic directly to confirm your funding eligibility and how to book.
What should I expect in a first session?
The occupational therapist will typically gather information about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. They may observe play and activities to understand sensory and motor patterns. This helps them develop a personalised plan. Sessions are play-based and child-led where possible, making them engaging and less intimidating for young children.
