Autism Support at Occupational Therapy — Across NSW
Occupational Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor skills, both areas where Occupational Therapy can provide meaningful support. At Occupational Therapy across NSW, our therapists work with children to help them better understand and respond to sensory information in their environment. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted blankets during sessions to help children regulate their nervous system, or incorporate activities like playing with textured materials to build tolerance for different sensations. Fine motor development is equally important, as many children on the spectrum benefit from targeted practice with everyday tasks. Our clinic offers interventions such as threading activities, scissor skills practice, and hand-strengthening exercises that make writing, eating, and self-care easier. These services can be funded through NDIS support plans (2025-26 pricing arrangements), helping families access the therapy their child needs. Every child is unique, and our occupational therapists tailor their approach to your child's specific strengths and challenges, working collaboratively with families to support participation in school, home, and community activities.

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. However, our therapists at Occupational Therapy across NSW can identify sensory processing and fine motor difficulties that often accompany autism, and provide targeted support in these areas. If you're seeking a diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist.
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy support?
Signs your child might benefit include difficulty with fine motor tasks (writing, buttons, cutlery), sensitivity to textures or sounds, or challenges with everyday activities like dressing and eating. A free initial consultation with our clinic can help determine whether occupational therapy is appropriate for your child's needs.
Can I use NDIS funding for occupational therapy at your clinic?
We support families accessing NDIS funding for occupational therapy services. While our NDIS registration status is being confirmed, we can discuss funding options with you. Contact us to learn about how 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements might apply to your child's support plan.
