Services Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information, which can affect their daily activities, learning, and social participation. Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy supports children with autism by addressing sensory processing challenges through tailored interventions. Sensory processing work helps children develop better awareness of their body in space and manage responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movements. At Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy in Across, interventions might include activities such as using sensory swings or weighted equipment to help children regulate their nervous system, practising fine-motor tasks like threading or scissor work to build confidence in self-care routines, and creating structured sensory experiences that make everyday environments feel more manageable. An occupational therapist can assess how sensory differences impact your child's participation at home, school, and in the community. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, sensory processing support may be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year), depending on your child's plan. Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy can discuss funding options and how therapy might support your child's goals.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism or sensory processing disorder. However, if your child has already been diagnosed with autism, an OT can assess how sensory differences affect daily activities and recommend strategies to support participation at home and school. A diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists.
How can Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy help my child with sensory sensitivities?
Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy works with children to develop sensory regulation strategies tailored to their needs. This might include activities that help your child feel calmer, more focused, or better able to manage transitions. The occupational therapist will work with you to identify which sensory experiences help your child and build these into daily routines.
Is occupational therapy for autism covered by the NDIS?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy may be funded depending on your child's goals and support needs. Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy can discuss your funding options and help you understand how therapy aligns with your plan. Contact the clinic to discuss your individual circumstances.
