Services South Western Sydney Local Health District Community Paediatric Clinic offers for autism
South Western Sydney Local Health District Community Paediatric Clinic offers occupational therapy support tailored to help children with autism spectrum disorder develop skills for daily living and participation in school and community activities. Our occupational therapists work with children to address sensory sensitivities, motor coordination, self-care routines, and social participation—areas that often benefit from structured therapeutic input. For example, we may use sensory activities like weighted blankets or fidget tools to help children self-regulate during transitions, or provide fine-motor exercises such as threading, cutting, and handwriting practice to build confidence with school tasks. Visual schedules and routine-based strategies are commonly incorporated to support predictability and independence at home and in the classroom. The South Western Sydney Local Health District Community Paediatric Clinic can discuss funding options with families, including how NDIS support (2025-26 pricing arrangements) might contribute towards occupational therapy services where children have an approved plan. Our therapists work collaboratively with families, schools, and other health professionals to ensure strategies are practical and meaningful for each child's unique needs and goals.

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.

We work alongside other health professionals, including paediatricians and psychologists, who conduct formal diagnostic assessments.
