Services Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy offers for autism
Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor support among its services, both of which are commonly addressed in occupational therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder. Sensory processing difficulties are frequently reported in autistic children, who may be either over-responsive or under-responsive to sensory input such as touch, sound, or movement. The clinic's sensory processing service may involve activities designed to help children regulate their responses—for example, use of weighted equipment, sensory swings, or tactile play activities to support calming and engagement. Fine motor skills, including hand strength and coordination needed for writing, fastening buttons, or using utensils, can also present challenges for some autistic children. Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy may address this through targeted exercises such as threading activities, scissor practice, or pencil grip training tailored to individual needs. Children with autism accessing occupational therapy through NDIS funding (2025–26) may be eligible to use their plan allocation toward these listed services, depending on their plan goals and support needs. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; assessment and diagnosis remain the role of medical professionals. Parents considering this clinic should discuss how these services align with their child's specific needs during an initial consultation.

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 occupational therapy help my autistic child with sensory sensitivities?
Occupational therapists, including those at Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy, can work with children to help them manage sensory responses through structured activities and strategies. However, an occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder. If sensory difficulties are affecting your child's daily life, discussing this with the clinic and your child's medical team is a good starting point.
Does Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy accept NDIS funding?
Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy is listed as NDIS registered in the directory. However, this listing is self-reported and has not been independently verified. It is recommended that you contact the clinic directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and discuss how your child's NDIS plan (if applicable) might be used toward their services.
What should I expect during a first appointment?
A typical first appointment usually involves the occupational therapist gathering information about your child's developmental history, current abilities, and areas of concern. They may observe your child during play or activities to understand their sensory and motor skills. This helps the therapist develop a plan tailored to your child's needs. Contact Paediatric Potentials Occupational Therapy directly to ask about their specific intake process.
