Services Pepper Kids Therapy – Eight Mile Plains offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. Pepper Kids Therapy – Eight Mile Plains offers occupational therapy services targeting these areas to support your child's everyday functioning and independence. Our sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures and movement through tailored activities. For example, we might use a sensory swing to help with vestibular input and body awareness, or introduce weighted equipment to promote calming and focus during activities. Fine motor therapy addresses skills like pencil grip, scissor control and hand coordination through engaging, play-based exercises such as threading beads, finger painting, and manipulating small objects. These interventions are designed to build confidence and participation in school, home and social settings. Pepper Kids Therapy – Eight Mile Plains is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access these services through their NDIS plans for 2025-26. Our therapists work collaboratively with you to identify your child's specific needs and create meaningful goals that matter 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 occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy can support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences and fine motor challenges that may affect daily activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism. Our role at Pepper Kids Therapy – Eight Mile Plains is to work with your child's existing diagnosis and help them develop skills for independence, learning and participation in meaningful activities at home, school and in the community.
How does NDIS funding work with Pepper Kids Therapy?

What can I expect in the first session?
During your initial appointment, our occupational therapist will listen to your concerns, observe your child's strengths and challenges, and discuss what matters most to your family. We'll gather information about sensory sensitivities, fine motor skills and daily routines, then work with you to set realistic goals. This helps us create a personalised therapy plan tailored to your child's needs.
