Services The Centre for Paediatrics offers for autism
The Centre for Paediatrics lists autism as a service area. Occupational therapy for autistic children typically addresses sensory processing differences, motor skill development, and everyday living tasks. According to its listing, The Centre for Paediatrics may support children through activities tailored to individual needs.
Common intervention areas include sensory regulation work, such as using weighted blankets or fidget tools to help children manage sensory input in daily environments. Fine and gross motor activities—for example, threading beads, scissor work, or playground-based coordination exercises—are often incorporated to build independence in self-care and play. The Centre for Paediatrics may also work on social communication skills through structured activities and visual supports, helping children navigate routines and transitions at home or school.
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism; diagnosis is made by medical professionals. However, OTs can assess how autism-related differences affect a child's participation in daily activities and school. Families with NDIS plans may use funding to access occupational therapy services in 2025-26, though The Centre for Paediatrics' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and how services align with their child's specific needs.

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 work with sensory differences by identifying what triggers distress and introducing graded activities to build tolerance. This might include using different textures, sounds, or movement experiences in a controlled way. The Centre for Paediatrics can assess sensory needs, though an OT cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—that requires medical evaluation.
Does The Centre for Paediatrics accept NDIS funding?
The Centre for Paediatrics' NDIS registration status is not confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to ask about NDIS eligibility, accepted funding arrangements, and whether they can support goals outlined in an NDIS plan for 2025-26.
What should I expect in a first appointment?
Initial appointments typically involve the therapist gathering information about your child's daily routines, strengths, and challenges. They may observe play or activities and discuss goals with you. The Centre for Paediatrics can explain their assessment process when you contact them. Outcomes depend on individual needs and consistent practice between sessions.
