Services Pepper Kids Therapy – Upper Coomera 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 – Upper Coomera addresses these areas through tailored occupational therapy support. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures and movement, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus. This might include activities like using a sensory swing to develop body awareness, working with different textured materials during play, or practising calming strategies with weighted equipment. Fine motor therapy builds the small muscle control needed for writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery and other daily tasks. Examples include threading activities, scissor practice, and hand-strengthening exercises incorporated into play-based sessions. Pepper Kids Therapy – Upper Coomera is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access funding through their NDIS plans (2025-26) to support these services. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism, but they work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support the specific functional challenges your child experiences, helping them participate more confidently in everyday activities at home, school and in the community.

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.
