Services Sydney Child Development Specialists offers for autism
Sydney Child Development Specialists provides occupational therapy support tailored to children with autism spectrum disorder, focusing on building everyday skills and managing sensory needs. Our therapists work with each child's unique profile to address challenges in self-care, play, social participation, and learning readiness. Common interventions include sensory motor activities—such as using weighted blankets or resistance equipment to help with body awareness and self-regulation—fine motor skill development through structured craft and writing tasks, and the creation of visual schedules to support transitions and daily routines. We also support parents and educators with practical strategies to use at home and school. Many families access Sydney Child Development Specialists through NDIS funding; while we cannot confirm current registration status, we encourage you to discuss funding options during your initial consultation. Our goal is to help your child develop confidence and independence in activities that matter most to your family. Occupational therapy complements other supports your child may receive but does not diagnose autism or other developmental conditions.

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?
Yes. Occupational therapists help children with autism develop skills in self-care, play, learning, and social participation. We address sensory sensitivities, fine and gross motor challenges, and daily living routines. However, occupational therapy does not diagnose autism—that requires a medical assessment. Sydney Child Development Specialists works alongside your child's other supports to build practical skills and confidence.
Does Sydney Child Development Specialists accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss current NDIS registration and funding arrangements for 2025–26. Many families use NDIS plans to access occupational therapy services. During your initial consultation, our team can help you understand what options may be available for your child's support.
What should I expect in the first session?
Your occupational therapist will listen to your concerns, observe your child at play and in daily activities, and ask about routines at home and school. This helps us understand your child's strengths and challenges. We'll then work with you to set goals and plan therapy that fits your family's priorities and lifestyle.
