Services SPOTS offers for autism
SPOTS lists both autism and fine motor support among its services. For children with autism spectrum disorder, occupational therapy typically addresses challenges in everyday functioning that may co-occur with autism diagnosis. Fine motor skills—such as handwriting, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and manipulating small objects—are areas where many autistic children benefit from structured practice and adapted strategies. According to its listing, SPOTS offers support in these areas through activities tailored to individual needs.
Fine motor interventions at SPOTS may include exercises such as threading beads, scissor practice, pencil grip training, and play-based activities that build hand strength and coordination. The clinic may also incorporate sensory strategies alongside motor work, recognising that sensory sensitivities often accompany autism. For example, a child might practise writing or drawing using textured materials or weighted pencils, or develop self-regulation skills through structured fine motor tasks.
Children with autism accessing SPOTS may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme, depending on their plan and goals. Parents should verify SPOTS' current NDIS registration status directly with the clinic, as this listing has not been independently confirmed. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism; however, they can support functional skills and participation once a diagnosis has been established by a medical professional.

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 SPOTS help my autistic child with handwriting and pencil grip?
SPOTS lists fine motor support among its services. Fine motor difficulties, including handwriting challenges, are common in autistic children. The clinic may use graded activities, adapted pencils, and individualised strategies to build these skills. However, parents should contact SPOTS directly to discuss their child's specific needs and whether the clinic can address them.
Is SPOTS registered with the NDIS?
SPOTS is listed as NDIS registered in the directory snapshot. However, this is self-reported and has not been independently verified. Parents should confirm current NDIS registration directly with the clinic before assuming funding eligibility. Registration status can change, so it is important to check before planning treatment.
What should I expect from occupational therapy for my autistic child?
Occupational therapy for autistic children typically focuses on everyday functional skills—such as fine motor tasks, self-care, and sensory regulation—rather than changing autism itself. An OT cannot diagnose autism. SPOTS may use play-based activities, structured practice, and sensory strategies to support participation in daily routines. Goals are individualised based on the child's strengths and needs.
