Autism Support at Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy — Upper Mount Gravatt, QLD
Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy in Upper Mount Gravatt, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in sensory processing and fine motor development, which can impact daily activities like eating, writing, and self-care. Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy supports these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement—for example, using weighted blankets or compression activities to promote calm, or providing controlled vestibular input through swinging and spinning activities to improve body awareness. Fine motor services address skills like pencil grip, scissor use, and fastening buttons, often through play-based activities such as threading beads, playdough manipulation, or adaptive utensil practice. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families to embed these strategies into everyday routines at home and school. If you're an NDIS participant, Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy is registered, meaning your therapy sessions can be funded through your plan under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. We focus on building independence and confidence in functional skills that matter most to your child and 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 occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Yes. Occupational therapists work with children on autism to develop skills in sensory regulation, fine motor tasks, and daily living activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—that's a medical role. We focus on supporting the specific functional challenges your child experiences, whether that's managing sensory sensitivities or improving handwriting skills.
How does Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy use NDIS funding?
As a registered NDIS provider, we can deliver occupational therapy services funded through your child's NDIS plan. Sessions are billed according to 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements. We'll work with you to understand your plan and ensure therapy aligns with your goals and funding allocation.
What can I expect during a sensory or fine motor session?
Sessions are individualised and play-based. Your child might engage in activities like swinging, weighted play, threading, or drawing—depending on their needs. We'll teach you strategies to use at home so progress continues beyond the clinic. We'll also communicate regularly about what we're working on and why.
