Autism Support at RCOT — Across WA
RCOT in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services RCOT offers for autism
RCOT provides early intervention support for children with autism spectrum disorder, focusing on building foundational skills during critical developmental periods. Early intervention through occupational therapy helps children develop independence in everyday activities, improve sensory processing, and strengthen social participation skills. At RCOT, therapists work with children on practical strategies tailored to their individual needs and strengths. Examples of interventions include sensory-based activities such as using weighted blankets or textured play materials to help with self-regulation, fine motor exercises like threading or scissor work to develop hand strength and coordination, and structured visual supports or social stories to aid transitions and communication. These early supports can make a meaningful difference in a child's confidence and daily functioning. Many families access RCOT's services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when autism has been formally diagnosed by a medical professional. RCOT works collaboratively with families to identify goals that matter most to them and their child, ensuring therapy is practical and relevant to home and community settings.

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 help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy supports children with autism by addressing everyday skills, sensory sensitivities, and participation in activities like self-care, play, and learning. RCOT's therapists work on goals that are meaningful to your family, such as improving independence with dressing, managing transitions, or developing play skills. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism, but they can provide valuable support once diagnosis is confirmed by a medical professional.
How do I access RCOT's services and what funding options are available?
You can contact RCOT directly to discuss your child's needs and arrange an initial consultation. Many families fund occupational therapy through NDIS (if your child has an approved plan), private health insurance, or out-of-pocket payment. RCOT can discuss funding options with you. NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic when you enquire.
What should I expect during early intervention at RCOT?
Early intervention typically involves an initial assessment to understand your child's strengths and goals, followed by regular therapy sessions tailored to their needs. RCOT therapists involve families in planning and provide strategies you can use at home. Sessions might include play-based activities, skill-building exercises, and advice on creating supportive environments. Progress is reviewed regularly with you.
