Autism Support at Kids That Go — Mango Hill, QLD

Kids That Go lists sensory processing support as part of its occupational therapy offerings. Sensory processing difficulties are common in children with autism spectrum disorder, and may affect how a child responds to sounds, textures, movement, or visual input. According to its listing, the clinic addresses these areas through occupational therapy approaches.

Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input. Examples of activities that occupational therapists commonly use include work with sensory swings or movement equipment to support vestibular and proprioceptive input, use of weighted items such as weighted blankets or lap pads to promote calming, and exposure to different textures through play-based activities. Kids That Go may tailor these approaches based on each child's individual sensory profile.

Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. However, an OT can work with a child's existing diagnosis to address functional sensory-related challenges in daily routines such as mealtimes, transitions, or self-care.

If a child is NDIS-funded, sensory processing support may be eligible for funding under the 2025-26 scheme, depending on the child's plan and goals. NDIS registration status for Kids That Go has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so parents should contact the clinic directly to clarify funding options.
