Autism Support at Remarkable You OT — Brendale, QLD

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in sensory processing and fine motor development, which can impact daily activities like self-care, learning, and play. At Remarkable You OT in Brendale, occupational therapists work with sensory processing by helping children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement. This might include activities such as using a sensory swing to provide calming vestibular input, working with weighted equipment like lap pads or compression vests to improve body awareness, or creating structured sensory experiences tailored to each child's needs. Fine motor support focuses on developing skills needed for writing, eating, dressing, and play—such as practising pencil grip through engaging activities, threading and manipulation tasks, or using adaptive utensils. Remarkable You OT takes an individualised approach, recognising that autism presents differently for each child. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when therapy goals align with a participant's plan. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism, but they can identify sensory and motor challenges and develop strategies to support participation in meaningful activities at home, school, and in the community.
