Autism Support at OT with Tahls — Across ACT
OT with Tahls in Across ACT lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services OT with Tahls offers for autism
Fine motor skills are essential for children with autism spectrum disorder, supporting independence in everyday activities like writing, eating, dressing and play. OT with Tahls offers fine motor interventions tailored to each child's needs and interests. These might include hand strength exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, precision activities such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, and practising pencil grip through drawing or pre-writing activities. The occupational therapists at OT with Tahls work collaboratively with families to identify meaningful goals and embed practice into routines at home and school. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 rates), which can cover occupational therapy support when autism is part of a participant plan. If your child doesn't yet have an NDIS plan, OT with Tahls can discuss alternative funding options. Every child develops at their own pace, and fine motor support is individualised based on your child's strengths, challenges and what matters most to your family.

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, OT with Tahls can assess how autism may affect your child's fine motor skills, coordination and daily functioning. If you're seeking an autism diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist. An OT assessment complements medical diagnosis by identifying practical support needs.
How do I access OT with Tahls if my child has autism?
You can contact OT with Tahls directly to discuss your child's needs. If your child has NDIS funding, occupational therapy may be covered under your plan (2025-26 rates apply). If not, the clinic can discuss private fees and other funding options. A referral from your GP or paediatrician can be helpful but isn't always required.
What should I expect in a session at OT with Tahls?
Sessions are tailored to your child. The occupational therapist will typically assess your child's fine motor abilities, discuss goals with you, and use play-based or structured activities to build skills. They'll provide strategies and activities you can practise at home. Sessions are designed to be engaging and respect your child's individual needs and preferences.
