Occupational Therapy Helping Children in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Occupational Therapy Helping Children offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. At Occupational Therapy Helping Children, our therapists work with these areas to support your child's everyday functioning and independence. Our sensory processing support helps children who may be over- or under-responsive to sounds, textures, movement, and touch. We use tailored activities such as sensory diet planning, weighted equipment use, and movement-based activities to help regulate responses. For fine motor development, we address skills like pencil grip, scissor control, and hand strength through play-based exercises and functional tasks. Occupational Therapy Helping Children recognises that each child's needs are unique, and we work collaboratively with families to identify meaningful goals. If you're accessing support through the NDIS in the 2025-26 funding year, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. We encourage you to discuss your child's specific needs with our team to explore how our services might support their development. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder—this requires assessment by a medical professional.

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 therapy can support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences and fine motor skills that may affect daily activities like eating, dressing, writing, and play. Occupational Therapy Helping Children works with each child's individual strengths and challenges. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—that requires assessment by a medical professional. We focus on functional skills and participation in meaningful activities.
How does Occupational Therapy Helping Children work with NDIS funding?
Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS plans, with services potentially covered under 2025-26 funding arrangements. We recommend checking your child's plan details and discussing your goals with our team. We can work with you to understand how our services align with your funded supports and help maximise your child's progress toward their goals.
What can I expect during sensory and fine motor sessions?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and interests. Sensory work might include movement activities, texture exploration, or weighted equipment use. Fine motor activities focus on skills like pencil control and hand strength through play and functional tasks. Our therapists involve families in planning so you can support progress at home between sessions.
