Autism Support at SPOTS — Across NSW
SPOTS in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services SPOTS offers for autism
SPOTS supports children with autism spectrum disorder through tailored occupational therapy that addresses the unique sensory, motor, and daily living needs many autistic children experience. Our autism-focused services work alongside fine motor skill development to help children build confidence and independence. For example, children might engage in sensory regulation activities using weighted blankets or fidget tools to support focus during learning, whilst fine motor interventions—such as threading activities, scissor skills practice, and handwriting exercises—help develop the precision needed for school tasks and self-care routines. SPOTS also incorporates visual schedules and structured routines to support transitions and task completion, recognising that many autistic children benefit from predictability and clear expectations. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families to identify goals that matter most, whether that's improving pencil grip, managing sensory sensitivities, or developing play skills. If you have an NDIS plan, SPOTS is registered to support autism-related goals within your 2025–26 funding allocation. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with our team to determine how occupational therapy can complement their overall support network.

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 autistic child with sensory sensitivities and fine motor skills at the same time?
Yes. Occupational therapists at SPOTS address both areas together, recognising they're often interconnected. For instance, a child with sensory sensitivities might find certain textures uncomfortable, which can affect their willingness to engage in fine motor activities like drawing or writing. Our therapists use sensory-friendly approaches and graded activities to build tolerance and skill simultaneously.
Does SPOTS diagnose autism, and do I need a diagnosis before attending?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—that's the role of a paediatrician or developmental specialist. However, you don't need a formal diagnosis to access SPOTS services. If your child is showing developmental differences or you're exploring support options, our team can discuss how occupational therapy might help and guide you on next steps.
How does NDIS funding work with SPOTS for autism support?
SPOTS is NDIS-registered, meaning if you have an approved plan with autism-related goals, you can use your funding for our services. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting SPOTS directly to discuss how your 2025–26 allocation can be applied to occupational therapy sessions tailored to your child's needs.
