Autism Support at OT Kidz — Across SA

OT Kidz provides occupational therapy support for children with autism spectrum disorder, focusing on developing skills that support daily living, learning, and social participation. Our therapists work with each child's unique strengths and challenges to build confidence and independence. For children who experience sensory sensitivities—common in autism—OT Kidz uses tailored sensory activities such as weighted blanket work and controlled exposure to different textures to help children regulate their responses. Fine motor skill development is another key area, with activities like threading beads, scissor practice, and handwriting exercises helping children gain control and precision. We also support social and communication skills through structured play activities and visual supports that help children understand routines and expectations. Many families access OT Kidz services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy for eligible participants. While funding arrangements vary under the 2025-26 NDIS pricing structure, our team can discuss how your child's plan might support their therapy goals. We recommend consulting with your child's GP or paediatrician about whether occupational therapy is appropriate for your child's needs.
