Paediatric OT for children on the autism spectrum

Occupational therapy goals for autistic children typically sit across sensory regulation, daily-living routines, school participation, and skills the family has identified as the priority.

What I work on

OT goals for autistic children are highly individual. Most of the goals I work toward sit in three categories: sensory regulation (sleep, mealtimes, transitions, classroom tolerance); self-care and routine independence; and participation in environments that matter to the family - school, kindy, community activities.

I do not work from a fixed program. Goals are negotiated with the family in plain language and reviewed at every block.

Approach

Neurodiversity-affirming. The aim is not to make the child behave more neurotypically - it is to expand the range of environments in which they can participate comfortably, with the goals the family has agreed to.

I work alongside speech therapists, psychologists, behaviour-support practitioners, and teaching teams where that makes sense.

What families typically receive

Initial assessment, a written goal plan, fortnightly sessions across an agreed block, and a progress summary at review. Written reports for plan reviews are quoted separately and aligned to the plan-review date.
