Autism Support at The Little OT Co — Across QLD
The Little OT Co in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services The Little OT Co offers for autism
The Little OT Co supports children with autism spectrum disorder through three key service areas tailored to individual needs. Sensory processing support helps children manage sensory sensitivities and build tolerance to everyday environments—this might include activities like using a sensory swing to develop vestibular awareness, working with weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, or exploring different textures in a controlled setting. Early intervention services focus on identifying developmental needs early, allowing children to build foundational skills during critical learning periods. Fine motor support addresses hand strength and coordination challenges, helping children develop skills for writing, self-care, and play through targeted activities such as threading beads, scissor work, and grip-strengthening exercises. The Little OT Co 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 help cover occupational therapy costs. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; however, they work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support children's participation in daily activities and environments.

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 therapy can support many children with autism by addressing sensory sensitivities, fine motor skills, and daily living activities. The Little OT Co works with children to build skills and confidence in areas that matter most to their families. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism—this requires assessment by a medical professional. An OT complements other support your child may receive.
How does The Little OT Co use NDIS funding?
Many families use NDIS funding to access occupational therapy services. The Little OT Co can discuss how therapy costs may be covered under your child's NDIS plan for the 2025-26 financial year. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we might support your child's goals within available funding.
What should I expect in a first session?
Your first session involves getting to know your child, understanding your family's priorities, and observing how your child engages with activities. The Little OT Co will discuss observations with you and work together to develop an individualised approach. Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and needs.
