Services North West Kids-Paediatric Occupational offers for autism
North West Kids-Paediatric Occupational provides early intervention services tailored to support children with autism spectrum disorder in developing everyday skills and managing sensory experiences. Early intervention during childhood can help build confidence, independence, and participation in daily routines. Our occupational therapists work with each child's unique profile, using play-based and practical activities to address challenges with self-care, coordination, and sensory processing. Examples of interventions include sensory circuit activities using equipment like balance beams and tunnels to help regulate nervous system responses, fine-motor skill development through threading, cutting, and handwriting practice, and the introduction of visual schedules and environmental modifications to support transitions and routines. North West Kids-Paediatric Occupational is NDIS registered, meaning families with NDIS plans can access funding to support these services under the 2025–26 scheme. Our therapists collaborate with families and other professionals to ensure strategies are consistent across home, school, and community settings, helping children develop skills that matter most to them and their families.

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. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or psychologists. However, our team at North West Kids-Paediatric Occupational can assess how autism may affect your child's daily functioning—such as self-care, play, and sensory experiences—and provide targeted support to help them participate more fully in everyday activities.
How does early intervention help children with autism?
Early intervention focuses on building skills and confidence during formative years when children are most responsive to learning. It can help with communication, coordination, sensory regulation, and independence in daily tasks like dressing and eating. Starting early also allows us to identify what works best for your individual child and embed supportive strategies across home and school environments.
How do I access North West Kids-Paediatric Occupational services through the NDIS?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, you can use your funding to access our services. We are NDIS registered, so you can book appointments directly with us. If you don't yet have a plan, we can discuss how to apply or provide information about other funding options available in the 2025–26 scheme.
