Services Steps2Life offers for autism
Steps2Life provides early intervention support for children with autism spectrum disorder through occupational therapy tailored to each child's unique needs and developmental stage. Early intervention during the formative years can help children develop essential skills for daily living, social interaction, and learning. At Steps2Life, our occupational therapists work with children to build confidence and independence through carefully designed activities. For example, we use sensory-based activities like swinging and weighted equipment to help children regulate their sensory systems, which can support focus and emotional regulation. Fine motor exercises—such as threading, scissor work, and handwriting practice—help develop the coordination needed for school tasks. We also implement visual schedules and structured routines to support transitions and understanding of daily activities. Early intervention services may be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year) if your child has an approved plan, or through private fees. Steps2Life works with families to explore available funding options and create a therapy plan that supports your child's participation in everyday activities at home, school, and in the community.

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 therapy can support children with autism by addressing sensory sensitivities, developing daily living skills, improving fine and gross motor coordination, and building confidence in everyday activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism. If you're seeking diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist. Steps2Life focuses on helping your child develop practical skills and independence.
How does early intervention at Steps2Life work?
Early intervention involves working with your child during their younger years to develop foundational skills in areas like self-care, play, communication, and motor skills. Our occupational therapists at Steps2Life assess your child's strengths and needs, then design activities tailored to their interests and developmental stage. Sessions typically involve play-based learning and strategies you can use at home.
Will NDIS funding cover therapy at Steps2Life?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan (2025-26 funding year), occupational therapy may be covered as a support. Steps2Life can discuss your funding options during your initial consultation. We also offer private therapy for families without NDIS plans. Contact us to clarify your specific situation and available pathways.
