Services National 360 Bendigo offers for autism
National 360 Bendigo lists early intervention as a service offering, which is commonly used to support children with autism spectrum disorder during their foundational developmental years. Early intervention in occupational therapy typically focuses on building skills in everyday activities, managing sensory experiences, and developing independence in self-care routines. For children with autism, this might include activities such as practising dressing and eating skills with adapted equipment, using sensory tools like weighted blankets or fidget items to support regulation, or working through structured routines with visual supports to build predictability and confidence. National 360 Bendigo's early intervention approach may also address fine and gross motor development through play-based activities tailored to each child's interests and learning style.
Many families access early intervention services through NDIS funding, particularly under early childhood supports (ages 0–6) or early intervention supports for school-aged children, depending on eligibility and plan allocation. The 2025–26 NDIS pricing arrangements continue to cover occupational therapy services for eligible participants. Parents considering early intervention at National 360 Bendigo in Kennington should note that while occupational therapists can support children with autism, they cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. The clinic's listing indicates it provides paediatric occupational therapy, though NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot.

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.
