Autism Support at Physio Inq — Across VIC
Physio Inq in Across VIC 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 occupational therapy team supports children by addressing sensory processing challenges through tailored interventions. Our therapists work with children to help them develop better awareness of and responses to sensory input in their environment. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted equipment during sessions to help children regulate their nervous system and improve body awareness. We also incorporate activities like fine-motor exercises with textured materials, obstacle courses that challenge balance and coordination, and structured play that gradually introduces different sensory experiences. Many families access Physio Inq's services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy support under the 2025-26 scheme. Our registered NDIS status means we can work directly with your child's plan to deliver evidence-informed strategies that support their sensory needs and help them engage more confidently 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 occupational therapy diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing difficulties. However, our team at Physio Inq can assess how sensory challenges are affecting your child's daily activities and recommend strategies to support them. A diagnosis must come from a medical professional such as a paediatrician or psychologist.
How does NDIS funding work with Physio Inq for my child's therapy?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy support, Physio Inq can provide services under that funding. As a registered NDIS provider, we work within the 2025-26 scheme guidelines. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with your NDIS planner to ensure occupational therapy is included in your plan.
What can I expect during my child's first session at Physio Inq?
During the initial appointment, our occupational therapist will gather information about your child's sensory preferences, daily routines, and any challenges you've noticed. They'll observe your child during play and activities to understand their sensory responses. This helps us develop a personalised approach that suits your child's needs and goals.
