Services Tashacare offers for autism
Tashacare lists autism, sensory processing, and fine motor skills as areas it addresses. For children with autism spectrum disorder, these three services often work together to support daily functioning and participation.
Sensory processing difficulties are common in autism, and Tashacare's sensory processing service typically involves activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sounds, textures, movement, and other sensory input. Examples might include work with sensory swings or weighted equipment to help with body awareness, or graded exposure to different textures during play-based activities.
Fine motor skills—such as pencil grip, hand strength, and coordination—are frequently areas where children with autism benefit from targeted support. Tashacare may incorporate fine motor exercises into therapy, such as threading activities, scissor work, or manipulation of small objects, often embedded within play or meaningful daily routines like dressing or eating.
The autism service listing suggests the clinic recognises the broader developmental profile associated with autism spectrum disorder. Children accessing services through NDIS funding (2025-26) may be eligible to use their plans to support occupational therapy at registered providers, though Tashacare's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should verify registration and funding eligibility directly with the clinic.

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 medical doctor, paediatrician, or psychologist. However, an occupational therapist like those at Tashacare can assess how autism affects a child's daily functioning—such as sensory sensitivities, fine motor skills, and participation in self-care or play—and provide targeted support based on those observations.
Does Tashacare accept NDIS funding?
Tashacare's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to ask about NDIS eligibility, whether they are registered as a provider, and what funding arrangements they offer. This will help determine if NDIS plans can be used to access services.
What should I expect in a first session at Tashacare?
A typical first session usually involves the therapist gathering information about the child's developmental history, current strengths and challenges, and family goals. The therapist may observe the child during play or activities to understand how sensory processing, fine motor skills, and other areas affect daily life. This assessment helps guide the direction of therapy.
