Autism Support at Physio Inq — Across NSW
Physio Inq in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Physio Inq offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. At Physio Inq, our occupational therapists address these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children who may be over- or under-responsive to touch, sound, movement, and other stimuli. We use strategies like weighted blankets during calm-down activities, controlled exposure to different textures during play-based sessions, and movement breaks using therapy balls to help regulate their nervous system. Fine motor work focuses on skills like pencil grip, scissor control, and hand strength through engaging activities such as threading beads, playdough manipulation, and adaptive utensil practice. These services support children in developing greater independence with daily tasks like eating, dressing, and writing. Physio Inq works with families to understand how NDIS funding (2025-26) may support occupational therapy, though we recommend confirming your child's eligibility and plan details directly. Our therapists collaborate with you to identify priorities and create meaningful goals that support your child's participation 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.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose autism?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or developmental specialist. However, our occupational therapists at Physio Inq can identify sensory processing differences and fine motor challenges, and work with you and your child's medical team to support their development and everyday functioning.
How does Physio Inq tailor therapy for my child's sensory needs?
We begin by understanding your child's individual sensory profile—what they find calming or overwhelming. Sessions might include sensory activities like swinging, tactile play, or movement exercises. We also provide strategies for home and school, such as sensory breaks or environmental adjustments, to help your child manage throughout their day.
Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at Physio Inq?
NDIS may fund occupational therapy for eligible participants. Funding availability depends on your child's plan and goals. We recommend checking your NDIS plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child's needs within the 2025-26 funding arrangements.
