Autism Support at You and Me OT — North Ipswich, QLD
You and Me OT in North Ipswich, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services You and Me OT offers for autism
You and Me OT supports children with autism spectrum disorder by addressing two key areas that often impact daily functioning: sensory processing and fine motor skills. Children on the autism spectrum frequently experience differences in how they process sensory information—some may seek intense sensory input while others find everyday sensations overwhelming. You and Me OT uses tailored sensory activities such as weighted blanket work, tactile play with different textures, and controlled movement experiences to help children regulate their nervous systems and feel more comfortable in their environment. Fine motor challenges can affect writing, self-care tasks, and play skills. The clinic offers targeted interventions including scissor practice, threading activities, and hand-strengthening exercises that build confidence and independence. These services can be funded through NDIS support plans (2025-26 funding year), making them accessible to eligible families. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, they work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support children's participation in school, home, and community activities. Every child's needs are unique, and You and Me OT develops individualised approaches based on careful observation and family input.

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?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. However, they can identify sensory processing differences and fine motor challenges that may be present. You and Me OT works alongside your child's doctor or paediatrician who conducts formal assessments. Our role is to support your child's everyday functioning and participation once autism has been identified by an appropriate professional.
How can NDIS funding help pay for therapy at You and Me OT?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy services may be funded as part of your support package for the 2025-26 funding year. You and Me OT can discuss your plan details and how therapy goals align with your funding. We recommend checking your plan documents or contacting the NDIA to confirm what services are covered and any out-of-pocket costs.
What can I expect during the first appointment?
Your first visit will involve getting to know your child and understanding their strengths, challenges, and what matters most to your family. You and Me OT will observe how your child plays, moves, and interacts. We'll discuss sensory preferences, fine motor skills, and daily routines. This helps us create a plan tailored to your child's needs and your family's goals.
