Autism Support at OCC Therapy – Mount Gravatt — Mount Gravatt, QLD

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor skills, both of which significantly impact daily functioning. OCC Therapy – Mount Gravatt addresses these areas through targeted occupational therapy support. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to sounds, textures, movement and visual input—common areas of difficulty for autistic children. Interventions might include using weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, practising movement activities on therapy equipment like balance beams or swings, or working with different textures during play-based activities to build tolerance and confidence. Fine motor therapy develops the small muscle control needed for writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery and other self-care tasks. Examples include threading activities, scissor practice, and hand-strengthening exercises incorporated into games. OCC Therapy – Mount Gravatt is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access these services through NDIS funding plans (2025-26 pricing structures apply). Our therapists work collaboratively with families to identify priorities and create meaningful goals that support participation in school, home and community activities. Each child's needs are unique, and therapy is tailored accordingly.
