Autism Support at Inside Out Therapy — Burpengary, QLD

Inside Out Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor services, both of which are commonly used to support children with autism spectrum disorder. Sensory processing difficulties are frequent in autistic children, who may experience heightened sensitivity to sounds, textures, or movement, or conversely, seek intense sensory input. The clinic's sensory processing service may address these through activities such as work with sensory swings, use of weighted equipment like lap pads or vests, or controlled exposure to different textures and movement experiences. Fine motor skills—including hand strength, coordination, and dexterity—often require targeted support in autistic children, particularly for writing, self-care tasks, and play. Inside Out Therapy lists fine motor interventions that might involve exercises with tweezers, threading activities, or adaptive utensil use during everyday routines. Many families access occupational therapy services for autism-related support through NDIS funding, with session costs typically covered under individualised plans in the 2025-26 funding year. Parents considering Inside Out Therapy should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. The clinic's listing indicates it is registered with the NDIS, though this has not been independently verified in the current directory snapshot.
