Autism Support at Physio Inq — NSW

Physio Inq lists both autism and sensory processing as services on its directory profile. According to its listing, occupational therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder typically addresses sensory sensitivities and daily living skills. Sensory processing support, as listed by Physio Inq, may involve activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sounds, textures, movement, and visual input. Examples of interventions commonly used in this area include sensory swing work to support vestibular input and body awareness, use of weighted equipment such as weighted blankets or lap pads to promote calming, and fine-motor exercises to develop hand strength for writing and self-care tasks. Occupational therapists may also work on visual schedules and structured routines to support transitions and daily activities. Physio Inq is listed as NDIS registered (self-reported, not independently verified), which means families may be able to access funding through NDIS plans for 2025-26 if they have approved goals related to daily living, communication, or participation. Parents considering the clinic should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis occurs through medical or psychological assessment. The clinic's approach, according to its listing, focuses on functional support rather than diagnosis.
