Autism Support at Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre — Bendigo, VIC

Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre lists sensory processing and fine motor support among its services, both of which are commonly addressed in occupational therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder. Sensory processing difficulties are frequently experienced by autistic children, who may be either over-responsive or under-responsive to sensory input such as touch, sound, or movement. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory needs through activities that may include use of sensory equipment like swings or weighted items, or graded exposure to different textures and environments to help children develop better tolerance and regulation. Fine motor skills—such as pencil grip, scissor use, and hand coordination—are often areas where autistic children benefit from targeted practice. Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre lists fine motor intervention, which typically involves structured activities such as threading, drawing exercises, or self-care tasks like fastening buttons or using cutlery. These services may be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible participants, though NDIS registration for this clinic has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents considering therapy should verify funding eligibility and the clinic's current registration status directly. Occupational therapy support is one component of a broader approach to autism support and does not replace diagnosis or medical assessment.
