Autism Support at TFK — Across NSW
TFK in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services TFK offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. TFK supports these areas through tailored occupational therapy interventions. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement—for example, using sensory swings or weighted equipment to help with body awareness and calming. Fine motor therapy builds skills like pencil grip, scissor control, and hand coordination through play-based activities such as threading, drawing, and manipulative games. TFK recognises that each child's needs are unique, and therapy is individualised accordingly. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder—diagnosis comes from other health professionals—but TFK can work with your child's existing diagnosis to address functional challenges in daily activities, learning, and play.

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 therapists like those at TFK can support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences and fine motor challenges that may affect daily activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism. If your child has been diagnosed, TFK can work with you to develop strategies for specific functional goals, such as self-care, play skills, and school participation.
How does TFK work with NDIS funding?
Many families use NDIS funding to access occupational therapy services. TFK's NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. If registered, your child's NDIS plan may cover sessions based on their goals and funding allocation. Contact TFK to discuss how funding arrangements work for your situation.
What kinds of activities does sensory and fine motor therapy involve?
TFK uses play-based activities tailored to your child's interests and needs. Sensory work might include swings, weighted tools, or textured materials to help with regulation. Fine motor activities could involve drawing, threading, building, or scissor work. The therapist will explain how each activity supports your child's development and goals.
