Autism Support at Toot Toot Occupational Therapy — Sherwood, QLD

Toot Toot Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor support as services offered to children. For children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing difficulties are common, and the clinic's listed sensory processing service may address how a child responds to sounds, textures, movement, and visual input in everyday settings. Interventions typically include activities such as sensory swings or weighted equipment use, which can help children regulate their responses to sensory information. Fine motor skills—such as pencil grip, scissor use, and hand coordination—are also frequently areas of focus for autistic children, and Toot Toot Occupational Therapy lists this service to support tasks like writing, dressing, and self-care. Examples of fine motor work might include threading activities, play-based hand strengthening exercises, or adapted utensil practice during mealtimes.

It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is undertaken by medical professionals. Families accessing services through NDIS funding in 2025-26 may be able to direct funding toward occupational therapy support if autism-related goals are included in their plan.
