Autism Support at OTSW Disability Services — Across NSW
OTSW Disability Services in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services OTSW Disability Services offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. OTSW Disability Services supports these children through specialised sensory processing interventions tailored to their individual needs. Our occupational therapists work with each child to identify their sensory preferences and sensitivities, then design activities that help them regulate their responses and engage more comfortably with their environment. Examples of interventions we use include sensory circuit activities—such as swinging, jumping on trampolines, or using weighted equipment—to help children organise their nervous systems; fine-motor activities like threading, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to build hand strength and coordination; and environmental modifications including visual schedules and reduced sensory distractions to support predictability and calm. OTSW Disability Services is registered with the NDIS, meaning families can access funding through their NDIS plans (2025-26 pricing arrangements) to support these therapies. Our approach recognises that sensory processing differences are just one aspect of autism, and we work collaboratively with families and other professionals to help children develop skills and confidence across home, school, and community settings.

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 or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder—these diagnoses come from medical professionals or psychologists. However, our occupational therapists at OTSW Disability Services can assess how sensory differences affect your child's daily functioning and develop targeted support strategies to help them manage sensory experiences and participate more fully in everyday activities.
How does NDIS funding work with OTSW Disability Services?
OTSW Disability Services is NDIS-registered, meaning your child's NDIS plan can fund occupational therapy sessions with us. We work with families to understand their plan allocations and help them access appropriate supports. We recommend discussing your child's sensory needs with your NDIS planner to ensure therapy is included in your plan.
What should I expect in a sensory processing session?
Sessions are child-centred and play-based. Your occupational therapist will observe your child's responses to different sensory activities—like swinging, weighted tools, or tactile play—and adjust the environment to match their needs. You'll receive strategies to use at home, and we'll work with you to support your child's sensory regulation across all settings.
