Services Therapy Partners offers for autism
Therapy Partners lists sensory processing as a service offered at its Ipswich clinic. For children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing difficulties are common and may affect how a child responds to sounds, textures, movement, or visual input. According to its listing, the clinic addresses these areas through occupational therapy approaches.
Sensory processing support typically involves activities designed to help children become more comfortable with or better organised by sensory input. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists commonly use include work with sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, exposure to different textures during play-based activities, and movement-based exercises that help develop body awareness. Therapy Partners may also incorporate strategies into daily routines, such as visual supports or structured sensory breaks, to help children manage transitions and regulate their responses throughout the day.
Children with autism may access occupational therapy through NDIS funding if they have an approved plan. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements allow funding for allied health services including occupational therapy. Parents considering Therapy Partners should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. An initial consultation can help determine whether sensory processing support aligns with a child's individual needs.

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 difficulties. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. An occupational therapist can assess how sensory or motor challenges affect daily functioning and recommend strategies to support the child, but formal diagnosis requires a medical assessment.
Does Therapy Partners accept NDIS funding?
Therapy Partners is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory listing, though this has not been independently verified. If a child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy funding, families should contact the clinic directly to confirm current arrangements, eligibility, and how funding can be applied to sessions.
What should I expect in a first appointment at Therapy Partners?
A first appointment typically involves the occupational therapist gathering information about the child's daily routines, challenges, and strengths. The therapist may observe how the child responds to different sensory experiences or activities. This helps identify areas of need and develop a plan tailored to the individual child. Parents are encouraged to discuss specific concerns and goals during this initial consultation.
