Autism Support at Physio Inq — Maroubra South, NSW

Physio Inq lists sensory processing and fine motor support among its services. For children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing difficulties are common and may affect how a child responds to sounds, textures, movement, or visual input. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory needs through activities that can help children regulate their responses—for example, work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or cushions, or structured movement activities like obstacle courses that provide controlled input. Fine motor skills, which involve hand strength and coordination, are also frequently listed as an area of support. Physio Inq's fine motor work may include activities such as threading, scissor practice, or pencil grip exercises to build the precision needed for writing and self-care tasks.

Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is a medical process. However, an OT can work with children who have a diagnosis to address functional challenges in daily activities.
