Autism Support at NSPOT — Across NSW
NSPOT in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services NSPOT offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in fine motor development, which can affect everyday activities like writing, eating, dressing, and play. At NSPOT, our occupational therapists work with children to build fine motor skills through purposeful, engaging activities tailored to each child's interests and developmental level. Examples of interventions include hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, scissor skills practice with adaptive equipment, and pencil grip development through structured writing activities. We also incorporate play-based learning—such as threading, bead work, and construction tasks—to make skill-building enjoyable. Many families access NSPOT's services through NDIS funding (2025-26), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible participants. Our therapists work collaboratively with families to set meaningful goals and monitor progress over time. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; however, we can identify fine motor challenges and provide targeted support to help your child participate more confidently in daily routines and activities they enjoy.

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 occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapists at NSPOT can support children with autism by addressing fine motor skills and other functional challenges that may affect daily activities. We cannot diagnose autism, but we can work with your child on specific skills like writing, self-care, and play. Our approach is individualised and play-based, focusing on what matters most to your family.
Does NSPOT accept NDIS funding?
NSPOT's NDIS registration status is not yet confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss current funding options and payment arrangements. Many families use NDIS funding (2025-26) for occupational therapy services, and our team can help you understand what may be available for your child.
What should I expect during my child's first appointment?
During an initial appointment at NSPOT, the occupational therapist will spend time getting to know your child and understanding your concerns and goals. They'll observe your child's fine motor skills and daily routines, ask questions about your family's needs, and discuss a plan moving forward. Sessions are designed to be comfortable and engaging for your child.
