According to its listing, these services typically overlap in supporting children with autism spectrum disorder, as many autistic children experience differences in how they process sensory information.
Sensory processing support, as listed by the clinic, may include activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sounds, textures, movement, and visual input. Examples of interventions commonly used in this area include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted blankets to support calming and body awareness, fine motor activities using textured materials or play dough to build tolerance and skill, and structured environmental modifications like visual schedules or quiet spaces to reduce sensory overwhelm.

Parents should note that an occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is a medical process. NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so parents should contact the clinic directly to clarify funding eligibility and whether services can be claimed under NDIS plans for the 2025-26 financial year or beyond.

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.
