Services Steps2Life Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Steps2Life Occupational Therapy lists autism, sensory processing, and fine motor skills as areas it addresses. For children with autism spectrum disorder, occupational therapy typically focuses on these three overlapping areas to support everyday functioning.
Sensory processing support may involve activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input. Examples include use of sensory equipment such as swings or weighted blankets, movement-based activities, and environmental modifications to reduce sensory overwhelm. Fine motor skill development often targets hand strength and coordination needed for writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and self-care tasks through structured play and targeted exercises.
The autism listing suggests Steps2Life Occupational Therapy may work with children on social communication, daily living skills, and coping strategies, though occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding; the clinic is listed as NDIS registered (self-reported, not independently verified). Families considering this service should verify current registration status and funding eligibility directly with the clinic. Therapy approaches are typically individualised based on each child's specific 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.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose autism?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or developmental specialist. However, occupational therapists can support children with a confirmed autism diagnosis by addressing sensory, motor, and daily living skills that may be affected.
Does Steps2Life Occupational Therapy accept NDIS funding?
Steps2Life Occupational Therapy is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory listing; however, this has not been independently verified. Parents should contact the clinic directly to confirm current NDIS registration status, check whether they accept NDIS plans, and discuss funding arrangements for 2025-26.
What should I expect in a first session?
A typical first session usually involves the occupational therapist gathering information about the child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. They may observe play or activities and discuss goals with parents. This assessment helps guide individualised therapy planning, though specific session structure varies by clinic and child needs.
