Autism Support at Nature Sense OT — Across NSW

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. Nature Sense OT supports children with autism by addressing sensory processing challenges through tailored occupational therapy. Our therapists work with children to help them better understand and respond to sensory input from their environment. For example, we use sensory swings and movement activities to help children regulate their nervous system and improve body awareness. We also incorporate weighted equipment and deep pressure activities to provide calming input, and fine motor exercises using textured materials to build skills whilst managing sensory sensitivities. Nature Sense OT recognises that every child is unique, and therapy is individualised to each child's needs and goals. If you're accessing NDIS funding, our team can discuss how occupational therapy services may be covered under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. We recommend consulting with your child's GP or paediatrician for assessment and diagnosis, as occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Our role is to support your child's functional abilities and participation in meaningful activities.
