Autism Support at Only About Kids — Caroline Springs, VIC
Only About Kids in Caroline Springs, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Only About Kids offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. Only About Kids provides occupational therapy support in both these areas to help children build confidence and independence in everyday activities. Our sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures and movement—for example, using sensory swings and weighted equipment to provide calming input, or gradually introducing different textures during play-based activities. Fine motor support focuses on skills like pencil grip, scissor use and fastening buttons, which we develop through targeted exercises and functional activities tailored to each child's interests. Only About Kids works with families to understand how NDIS funding (2025-26 funding arrangements) might support these services, though we recommend confirming your child's eligibility and plan details directly. Our Caroline Springs clinic takes a collaborative approach, working alongside families and other professionals to support your child's participation in school, home and community activities. Every child's needs are unique, and we develop individualised therapy plans based on careful observation and assessment.

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 development, which often impact daily activities like eating, dressing and writing. Only About Kids provides therapy tailored to your child's individual needs. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. We work with your child's existing diagnosis and support their functional skills.
How does Only About Kids use NDIS funding?
Many families access NDIS funding to support occupational therapy services. Only About Kids can discuss how therapy might fit within your child's NDIS plan, though we recommend confirming your registration status and available funding with the NDIA first. We're happy to work with you to understand what services your plan covers for the 2025-26 funding year.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your first visit to Only About Kids will involve getting to know your child and understanding your family's goals and concerns. We'll observe how your child engages in activities, discuss their sensory preferences and motor skills, and explain how occupational therapy might help. This helps us create a personalised plan that makes sense for your family.
