Services Posity offers for autism
Posity lists early intervention as a service, which is commonly used to support children with autism spectrum disorder during their early developmental years. Early intervention occupational therapy typically focuses on building foundational skills in daily living, play, and social participation. According to Posity's listing, early intervention may include activities such as sensory play experiences to help children process different textures and movements, fine motor skill development through play-based activities like threading or drawing, and structured routines to support transitions between activities. Early intervention services may also address self-care skills including eating, dressing, and toileting in ways that suit each child's sensory and developmental profile.
Children with autism may access early intervention services through NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year if they have an approved plan. Posity is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory snapshot, though this registration has not been independently verified. Parents considering early intervention support are encouraged to discuss their child's specific needs with a qualified occupational therapist, as occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. The focus of early intervention is typically on building skills and independence rather than addressing the autism diagnosis itself.

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. A diagnosis must be made by a medical doctor or psychologist. However, occupational therapists can work with children who have a diagnosis to support skill development in areas like self-care, play, and managing sensory experiences in daily life.
How do I know if Posity's early intervention service is right for my child?
This depends on your child's individual needs and developmental stage. Posity lists early intervention as a service, but it is recommended to contact the clinic directly to discuss your child's specific situation and whether their approach aligns with your family's goals. An initial consultation can help determine fit.
Can NDIS funding be used for occupational therapy at Posity?
Posity is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory snapshot, though this has not been independently verified. If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy support, you may be able to use funding at registered providers. Contact Posity directly to confirm current registration and funding arrangements.
