Services Dr. Sarah Wilkes-Gillan offers for autism
Dr. Sarah Wilkes-Gillan lists autism support as a service offering. Occupational therapy for children on the autism spectrum typically focuses on developing everyday skills, managing sensory sensitivities, and building independence in daily routines. According to its listing, the clinic addresses areas such as fine and gross motor coordination, self-care routines, and social participation.
Common interventions in autism-focused occupational therapy include sensory regulation activities—for example, using weighted blankets or pressure tools to help a child feel calmer during transitions, or structured movement breaks with resistance equipment.

Children with autism may access occupational therapy through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply where eligible). Parents should note that occupational therapists do not diagnose autism; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. The clinic's listing indicates it works with children across the autism spectrum, though individual suitability and therapy goals should be discussed directly with the service.

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.
