Services Rise up Occupational Therapy Services offers for autism
Rise up Occupational Therapy Services supports children with autism spectrum disorder through early intervention programmes designed to build foundational skills during critical developmental periods. Early intervention focuses on addressing sensory processing differences, developing communication and social interaction skills, and supporting daily living activities. At Rise up Occupational Therapy Services in Harrington Park, therapists work with children using tailored activities such as sensory motor circuits (incorporating balance beams, tunnels, and weighted equipment to support body awareness), fine motor skill development through play-based activities like threading and scissor work, and visual supports including picture schedules to aid transitions and understanding of routines. These interventions help children develop confidence and independence in everyday situations. Early intervention is particularly valuable during the preschool and early school years, when neuroplasticity supports skill acquisition. As a registered NDIS provider, Rise up Occupational Therapy Services can support families accessing early intervention funding through the NDIS 2025-26 scheme, helping to make therapy accessible and tailored to each child's individual goals and needs.

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 therapists work with children on autism spectrum to develop practical life skills, manage sensory sensitivities, improve coordination, and build confidence in daily activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—diagnosis comes from medical professionals. Rise up Occupational Therapy Services can assess your child's functional needs and support skill development in areas like self-care, play, and social participation.
Does Rise up accept NDIS funding?
Yes, Rise up Occupational Therapy Services is registered with the NDIS. If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy supports, you can use your funding with the clinic. We recommend discussing your plan details with our team to confirm how we can support your child's goals under the 2025-26 funding arrangements.
What should I expect in early intervention sessions?
Early intervention sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and developmental needs. Sessions may include sensory activities, movement games, fine motor practice, and strategies for daily routines. Rise up Occupational Therapy Services works collaboratively with families, providing guidance you can use at home to support your child's progress between appointments.
