Autism Support at Inner West Paediatrics — NSW

Inner West Paediatrics lists autism, sensory processing, and fine motor skills as areas of support. For children with autism spectrum disorder, these three services often work together in occupational therapy. Sensory processing support typically addresses how a child responds to sounds, textures, movement, and visual input—for example, a child who finds certain textures distressing might work with activities involving different materials, or a child seeking movement input might use equipment like therapy balls or cushions during sessions. Fine motor skill development often supports everyday tasks such as writing, using cutlery, fastening buttons, or manipulating small objects, which can be particularly important for children with autism who may have coordination differences. Inner West Paediatrics' listing indicates these services may be delivered through play-based activities tailored to individual needs.

Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is conducted by medical professionals.
