Kids Play Occupational Therapy

OT for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Children with a diagnosis of ASD often experience their world differently. They may have difficulty with verbal and non-verbal communication, social and emotional engagement, or have fixed, repetitive behaviours.

Skills for Independence

Every family’s experience of ASD is different. Our occupational therapists understand your challenges and work with your child to help them master skills and develop independence. A Kids Play children’s occupational therapist can help with:

  • Developing independence in daily living skills like going to the toilet and getting dressed
  • Developing fine motor skills for dressing, drawing, eating and play
  • Managing frequent meltdowns and tantrums
  • Improving poor attention and concentration
  • Reducing mealtime stress by introducing a bigger range of foods
  • Addressing behaviour concerns at home / kindy / prep / school
  • Developing writing skills and learning to use writing alternatives
  • Difficulties making friends or playing with other children

The Kids Play Approach

At Kids Play our occupational therapists utilize a number of frameworks to support the development of skills in your child. Every child and family is different. We tailor therapy for each child based on their needs. For children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder our occupational therapists use:

  • Sensory Processing
  • Developmental Individual Difference Relationship Approach (DIR FLoortime)
  • Alert Program
  • Zones of Regulation
  • Super Flex
  • Willbarger Therapressure Approach

We also provide support to apply for funding for specialized equipment. We are able to apply through Helping Children with Autism and the NDIS.

Help your child reach their potential.
