Autism Support at WONDER KIDS OT — Across VIC
WONDER KIDS OT in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services WONDER KIDS OT offers for autism
WONDER KIDS OT supports children with autism spectrum disorder through tailored occupational therapy that addresses the sensory and daily living challenges many autistic children experience. Our autism service focuses on helping children develop skills for school, home, and social environments, whilst our sensory processing support recognises that many autistic children experience the world differently—finding certain sounds, textures, or movements overwhelming or underwhelming. At WONDER KIDS OT in Across, we use evidence-based strategies including sensory integration activities (such as work with weighted blankets and body socks to help with self-regulation), fine motor skill development through play-based tasks like threading and scissor work, and visual supports including schedules and communication aids to reduce anxiety and build independence. We also support transitions between activities and environments, which many autistic children find challenging. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding to access our services, with 2025-26 pricing structures available upon enquiry. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; however, we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to provide meaningful support based on their individual needs and goals.

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 autistic child with sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists at WONDER KIDS OT can help children manage sensory sensitivities through strategies like sensory breaks, environmental modifications, and graded exposure to challenging textures or sounds. We work with your child's specific sensitivities to build coping skills and increase comfort in daily activities. However, an OT cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—this requires a formal assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist.
Does WONDER KIDS OT accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status is currently not confirmed. We recommend contacting WONDER KIDS OT directly to discuss funding options and whether your child's NDIS plan can be used for our services. Our team can provide information about 2025-26 pricing and help you understand what support may be available to your family.
What should I expect in my child's first session?
Your first session typically involves getting to know your child, understanding their strengths and challenges, and discussing your goals with the occupational therapist. WONDER KIDS OT uses play-based and practical activities to observe how your child engages. We'll explain our approach and work with you to create a plan tailored to your child's needs and your family's priorities.
