Autism Support at Whole Family Health — Across NSW
Whole Family Health in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Whole Family Health offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. Whole Family Health's sensory processing support helps children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory input from their environment. Through tailored interventions, occupational therapists work with children to build tolerance and regulation skills. Examples of activities used at Whole Family Health include weighted equipment work to provide calming input, sensory swing activities to improve balance and coordination, and structured exploration of different textures and sounds in a controlled setting. These interventions can support children in managing transitions, reducing anxiety in busy environments, and improving focus during learning tasks. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible participants. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; however, they work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support the child's functional goals and participation in everyday routines.

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?
Occupational therapists at Whole Family Health support children with autism by addressing sensory processing differences and functional skills that affect daily activities. They cannot diagnose autism, but work with your child's existing diagnosis to improve participation in school, home, and community settings. Support is individualised based on your child's specific needs and goals.
How do I access services at Whole Family Health, and can NDIS funding cover it?
You can contact Whole Family Health directly to discuss your child's needs and arrange an initial consultation. Many families use NDIS funding to access occupational therapy services under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements. If your child is NDIS-eligible, your plan may include funding for therapy. The clinic can discuss funding options and eligibility with you.
What should I expect during sensory processing sessions?
Sessions at Whole Family Health typically involve play-based activities tailored to your child's interests and sensory needs. Your occupational therapist will use tools like weighted equipment, swings, and sensory exploration to help your child develop regulation skills. You'll receive guidance on strategies to use at home, and progress is monitored regularly toward your child's functional goals.
