Autism Support at The Base Health — Across NSW
The Base Health in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services The Base Health offers for autism
The Base Health supports children with autism spectrum disorder through specialised sensory processing interventions. Many autistic children experience sensory sensitivities—some seeking intense input while others find everyday sensations overwhelming. Our occupational therapists work with children to build awareness of their sensory needs and develop strategies to manage them effectively. At The Base Health, we use tailored activities such as weighted equipment work to provide calming proprioceptive input, sensory swing activities to improve body awareness and vestibular processing, and structured fine-motor tasks that build confidence during daily routines like dressing or eating. We also help children develop self-regulation strategies through environmental modifications and personalised sensory diets. Families may access funding through the NDIS (2025–26 pricing arrangements) to support these services, though registration status should be confirmed when enquiring. Our approach recognises that sensory processing differences are individual—what helps one child may differ for another. The Base Health focuses on practical, functional improvements that support participation in school, home, and community activities.

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 or sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder—these require assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or developmental specialist. However, our OTs at The Base Health can identify sensory difficulties and provide targeted support to help your child manage them, regardless of diagnosis.
How do I know if my child would benefit from sensory processing support?
Children who avoid certain textures, sounds, or movements; seek intense sensory input; struggle with transitions; or have difficulty with daily routines like showering or eating may benefit from sensory support. An initial consultation at The Base Health can help determine whether occupational therapy is appropriate for your child's needs.
Can we use NDIS funding for services at The Base Health?
NDIS funding may be available to support occupational therapy services under the 2025–26 pricing arrangements, depending on your child's plan and goals. We recommend contacting The Base Health directly to confirm their current NDIS registration status and discuss funding options for your situation.
