Autism Support at Your Child's Therapy — Across NSW
Your Child's Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Your Child's Therapy offers for autism
Your Child's Therapy supports children with autism spectrum disorder through two interconnected service areas: autism-focused occupational therapy and sensory processing support. Children with autism often experience challenges with daily living skills, social participation, and sensory regulation—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. Our sensory processing services help children who find certain textures, sounds, or movements overwhelming or underwhelming. For example, we might use a sensory swing to help regulate vestibular input, introduce weighted equipment like lap pads or vests to improve body awareness, or work on fine-motor skills through structured craft activities that build confidence and independence. Your Child's Therapy also supports children in developing routines for self-care tasks, improving transition skills between activities, and exploring play-based learning tailored to their interests. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when autism is identified as a support need. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder, we work collaboratively with your child's existing diagnoses to build practical skills and reduce barriers to participation in school, home, and community settings.

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 Your Child's Therapy diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder. However, Your Child's Therapy can assess how these conditions affect your child's daily functioning—such as self-care, play, and learning—and provide targeted support. We work alongside your child's GP, paediatrician, or psychologist who may have provided a diagnosis.
How can NDIS funding help us access services at Your Child's Therapy?
If your child has autism listed in their NDIS plan as a support need, occupational therapy sessions may be covered under your funding allocation for 2025–26. Your Child's Therapy is NDIS registered, so we can work directly with your plan. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting the NDIS to confirm your available therapy budget.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your first session typically involves gathering information about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. The occupational therapist will observe how your child engages in activities and discuss your priorities—whether that's improving self-care, managing sensory sensitivities, or building social skills. This helps Your Child's Therapy create a personalised therapy plan.
