Autism Support at Therapy Inclusive — WA

Therapy Inclusive lists sensory processing as a service offered at the clinic. For children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing difficulties are common, and occupational therapy targeting this area typically focuses on helping children manage and respond to sensory information in their environment. According to its listing, the clinic may support children through activities designed to address sensory sensitivities or seeking behaviours. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists commonly use in this context include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help regulate responses to movement and proprioceptive input, structured activities that gradually expose children to different textures or sounds in a controlled way, and environmental modifications that reduce overwhelming sensory stimuli. Therapy Inclusive indicates it is listed as NDIS registered, which means families may be able to access funding through NDIS plans (2025-26 pricing structures apply) if the child has an approved plan and sensory processing support is listed as a funded goal. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical practitioner or psychologist. Parents considering Therapy Inclusive should discuss with the clinic how sensory processing support aligns with their child's individual needs and any existing diagnoses or assessments.
