Autism Support at Dr Grace Kiiru — NSW

Dr Grace Kiiru lists autism support as one of the services offered at this paediatric occupational therapy clinic in NSW. According to its listing, the clinic addresses areas commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder, including sensory processing, motor skill development, and daily living activities. Occupational therapy for children with autism typically focuses on building independence and managing sensory sensitivities. Examples of activities that may be incorporated include sensory integration work such as using weighted blankets or fidget tools to support regulation, fine motor exercises like threading beads or scissor practice to develop hand strength and coordination, and structured routines using visual supports to aid transitions between activities. Dr Grace Kiiru's clinic may work with families to identify specific challenges—whether related to self-care tasks, social participation, or environmental sensitivities—and develop tailored strategies. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. For families with NDIS plans, funding may be available to support occupational therapy sessions under the 2025-26 scheme, though Dr Grace Kiiru's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents considering this clinic are encouraged to contact the service directly to discuss how it may support their child's individual needs.
