Services S.P.O.T.S. Sensory-motor Paediatric Occupational Therapy Services offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their comfort, focus, and participation in daily activities. S.P.O.T.S. Sensory-motor Paediatric Occupational Therapy Services supports these children through targeted sensory processing interventions tailored to their individual needs. Our occupational therapists work with each child to identify sensory preferences and sensitivities, then design activities that help them regulate and respond more effectively to their environment. Examples of interventions include using sensory swings and weighted equipment to provide calming input, structured play activities that gradually introduce different textures and sounds, and environmental modifications to reduce overwhelming stimuli at home or school. We also help families understand their child's sensory profile and develop strategies for daily routines. S.P.O.T.S. is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access our services through NDIS funding plans (2025–26 pricing structures apply). Our approach recognises that sensory processing differences are not something to 'fix', but rather something to understand and support. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. We work collaboratively with your child's broader support team to enhance their wellbeing and independence.

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. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. However, our occupational therapists at S.P.O.T.S. can assess how sensory processing differences affect your child's daily functioning and develop support strategies to help them participate more comfortably in school, home, and community activities.
How can NDIS funding help us access S.P.O.T.S. services?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy is often listed as a funded support. S.P.O.T.S. Sensory-motor Paediatric Occupational Therapy Services is NDIS registered, so you can use your plan allocation to access our services. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how your funding can be applied to sensory processing support.
What can we expect during the first appointment?
During an initial appointment, our occupational therapist will gather information about your child's sensory preferences, daily routines, and any challenges you've noticed. We'll observe how your child responds to different activities and environments. This helps us understand their sensory profile and create a personalised plan. We'll also discuss goals with you and explain how we'll work together to support your child.
