The Centre for Paediatrics in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services The Centre for Paediatrics offers for autism
The Centre for Paediatrics provides occupational therapy support for children with autism spectrum disorder, focusing on developing skills that support everyday participation and independence. Our therapists work with children to build confidence in daily routines, social interactions, and self-regulation. For children who experience sensory sensitivities—common in autism—we use tailored sensory activities such as weighted blanket work and proprioceptive exercises to help with body awareness and calming. Fine motor skill development is another key focus, with activities like threading, scissor work, and handwriting practice helping children manage self-care and learning tasks. The Centre for Paediatrics also supports transition planning, such as preparing for school changes or new environments through visual schedules and routine-building strategies. Many families access our services through NDIS funding, with support available under 2025-26 pricing arrangements for eligible participants. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to address the functional challenges that matter most to your family. Our goal is to help your child develop the skills and confidence they need to engage meaningfully in home, school, and community life.

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 is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. However, our therapists at The Centre for Paediatrics can assess how autism affects your child's daily functioning—such as self-care, play, and learning—and provide targeted support to build skills in these areas.
How can occupational therapy help my child with autism?
Occupational therapy supports children with autism by addressing practical challenges in daily life. This might include sensory regulation strategies, fine motor skill development, social participation, self-care routines, and transition planning. The Centre for Paediatrics tailors interventions to your child's individual strengths and needs, working towards greater independence and confidence.
Does The Centre for Paediatrics accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting The Centre for Paediatrics directly to discuss current funding options, payment arrangements, and whether your child may be eligible for support under the 2025-26 NDIS pricing framework or other funding pathways available to your family.
