Pepper Kids Therapy – Brendale in Brendale, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Pepper Kids Therapy – Brendale offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor skills, which can impact their daily activities, learning, and social participation. At Pepper Kids Therapy – Brendale, our occupational therapists address these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement—for example, using sensory swings or weighted equipment to help calm an overwhelmed nervous system, or introducing graded exposure to challenging textures during structured play. Fine motor work focuses on skills like handwriting, fastening buttons, and using utensils, often through play-based activities such as threading, scissor work, and hand-strengthening games. These services work together to build confidence and independence in everyday tasks. Pepper Kids Therapy – Brendale is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access funding through their plans to support these therapies. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to identify each child's unique sensory and motor needs, creating meaningful progress toward their goals.

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 many children with autism by addressing sensory processing difficulties and fine motor challenges that affect daily activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—that's done by medical professionals. At Pepper Kids Therapy – Brendale, we focus on helping your child develop skills and strategies to participate more comfortably in everyday routines, learning, and play.
How does NDIS funding work with Pepper Kids Therapy – Brendale?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, you may be able to use allocated funding for occupational therapy services. Pepper Kids Therapy – Brendale is NDIS registered, so we can work directly with your plan. We recommend discussing your child's goals with your NDIS planner to ensure therapy is included in your funding allocation for 2025-26.
What can I expect during the first appointment?
Your first session involves getting to know your child, understanding their strengths and challenges, and learning about your family's priorities. The occupational therapist will observe how your child engages with activities and may ask questions about sensory sensitivities, motor skills, and daily routines. This information helps us develop a personalised therapy plan tailored to your child's needs.
