Services Physio Inq offers for autism
Physio Inq lists sensory processing and fine motor support as services available to children with autism spectrum disorder. Sensory processing difficulties are common in autism, and the clinic's listed sensory processing service may address challenges such as sensitivity to sounds, textures, or movement. Examples of activities typically used in this area include work with sensory equipment like swings or weighted items, and structured play that helps children become more comfortable with different sensory experiences. Fine motor skills—such as pencil grip, cutting with scissors, and fastening buttons—are also frequently areas of focus for autistic children. Physio Inq lists fine motor support that may include hand-strengthening exercises, threading activities, or practice with everyday tasks like writing and self-care. It is important to note that an occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. For families accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26, services listed by NDIS-registered providers may be eligible for coverage, though this depends on individual plans and goals. Parents considering Physio Inq should discuss how the clinic's listed services align with their child's specific needs and goals 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 an occupational therapist diagnose autism in my child?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Diagnosis is made by medical professionals such as paediatricians, psychiatrists, or developmental specialists. An OT can assess functional skills and sensory responses, and may work with your child following a diagnosis, but cannot provide a diagnostic assessment for autism.
Is Physio Inq registered with the NDIS, and can I use my plan funding there?
Physio Inq is listed as NDIS registered in the directory. However, NDIS registration status has not been independently verified by OTWaitlist. If you have an NDIS plan, contact the clinic directly to confirm current registration and whether the specific services your child needs are covered under 2025-26 funding arrangements.
What should I expect in a first appointment at Physio Inq for my autistic child?
A first appointment typically involves an assessment of your child's sensory responses, fine motor skills, and daily functioning. The occupational therapist will gather information about your child's strengths and challenges, and discuss goals with you. This helps the clinic understand how to tailor support. It is recommended to contact Physio Inq directly to ask about their specific assessment process and what to bring.
