Services SWST offers for autism
SWST lists autism support as one of its services. According to its listing, the clinic offers occupational therapy for children on the autism spectrum, though NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Occupational therapy for autism typically focuses on helping children develop everyday skills, manage sensory sensitivities, and participate more independently in daily routines. For children with autism, SWST may address areas such as self-care tasks (dressing, eating, toileting), social participation, and coping with transitions. Common activities might include sensory regulation work using items like weighted blankets or fidget tools to help children feel calmer, fine-motor skill development through play-based activities like threading or drawing, and the use of visual supports or schedules to help children understand what comes next. Occupational therapists do not diagnose autism; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. If SWST is NDIS registered, families may be able to access funding through NDIS plans (2025-26 pricing) to cover sessions, though this should be confirmed directly with the clinic. Parents considering SWST for autism support should discuss their child's specific needs, the clinic's assessment process, and how therapy goals align with their family's priorities.

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 child with autism learn daily living skills?
Yes. Occupational therapists, including those at SWST, can support children with autism to develop self-care skills like dressing, eating, and personal hygiene through structured, play-based practice. The therapist adapts activities to match the child's interests and sensory needs, making learning feel natural and less stressful.
Is SWST registered with the NDIS so I can use my child's plan?
NDIS registration for SWST has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Contact the clinic directly to ask about NDIS registration status and whether they accept NDIS funding. If registered, you may be able to use your child's plan to cover occupational therapy sessions.
Will occupational therapy at SWST diagnose my child's autism?
No. Occupational therapists do not diagnose autism; that is done by medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. SWST can assess how autism affects your child's daily functioning and skills, then provide therapy to support participation and independence.
