Autism Support at Physio Inq — Across WA
Physio Inq in Across WA 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, which can affect their daily functioning, learning, and social participation. Physio Inq's sensory processing support helps children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory input through tailored activities and environmental modifications. For example, our occupational therapists may use sensory swings or weighted blankets to help regulate a child's nervous system, or incorporate fine-motor activities like threading beads and scissor work to build confidence in everyday tasks. Visual schedules and structured routines are also used to support predictability and reduce anxiety during sessions. At Physio Inq, we work collaboratively with families to identify sensory sensitivities—whether to sound, touch, movement, or visual stimuli—and develop practical strategies for home and school. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder, we can support the sensory and functional needs that often accompany it. Many families access our services through NDIS funding; we encourage you to discuss your child's plan and funding eligibility with your local NDIS planner. Our goal is to help your child engage more comfortably in everyday activities and reach their potential.

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 or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing difficulties. However, we can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily activities and learning, and provide support to help them manage these challenges. A paediatrician or psychologist can provide formal diagnosis. Physio Inq works alongside other professionals in your child's support team.
How can I access Physio Inq's services if my child has autism?
You can contact Physio Inq directly to discuss your child's needs and book an initial appointment. Many families fund occupational therapy through NDIS plans. If your child has an active NDIS plan, discuss sensory and functional goals with your planner to ensure therapy is included. We can also discuss private payment options and any rebates you may be eligible for.
What should I expect during a sensory processing session at Physio Inq?
Sessions are tailored to your child's individual needs and preferences. Your occupational therapist may use sensory activities like swings, weighted equipment, or fine-motor tasks, alongside strategies to help your child recognise and respond to sensory input. We'll also discuss practical strategies you can use at home and school to support your child's sensory regulation throughout the day.
