Autism Support at Neurospark — Across WA

Neurospark supports children with autism spectrum disorder through tailored occupational therapy that addresses sensory processing differences and everyday functional skills. Many autistic children experience sensory sensitivities—such as difficulty with certain textures, sounds, or movement—which can affect learning, social participation, and daily routines. At Neurospark, occupational therapists work with each child's unique sensory profile to develop strategies that help them feel more comfortable and confident. Specific interventions might include sensory motor activities like using a sensory swing or trampoline to help regulate movement and balance, introducing weighted equipment such as weighted vests or lap pads to provide calming input, or practising fine-motor tasks through play-based activities that build hand strength and coordination. Therapists also help develop visual supports and structured routines that make transitions and expectations clearer. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose autism, it addresses the functional challenges many autistic children face. Families accessing Neurospark may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme, depending on their child's plan. The clinic works collaboratively with families and other professionals to support each child's participation at home, school, and in the community.
