Autism Support at Physio Inq — Across WA

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in sensory processing and fine motor development, which can impact daily activities like eating, writing, and self-care. At Physio Inq, our occupational therapists work with children to build confidence and independence in these areas. Sensory processing support might include activities such as using sensory swings or weighted blankets to help regulate responses to touch and movement, or creating calm spaces with visual supports to manage transitions. Fine motor interventions focus on developing hand strength and coordination through play-based activities like threading, cutting, and handwriting practice. Physio Inq recognises that every child is unique, and therapy is tailored to individual needs and interests. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when autism is identified. Our team works collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to support your child's participation in everyday activities. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; however, we can address the sensory and motor skills that may be affecting your child's function and wellbeing.
