NDIS Occupational Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) represents a unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world. Mental Health OT Australia provides neuro-affirming, evidence-based NDIS Occupational Therapy designed to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder in navigating daily life, building independence, and celebrating neurodivergent strengths.
Personalised intervention plans focus on the specific goals of children, adolescents, and adult. We ensure that therapy remains practical, respectful, and life-changing.
How Occupational Therapy Supports Autistic Individuals
Occupational Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder addresses the intersection of sensory processing, motor skills, and social-emotional well-being. Support for NDIS participants includes:
- Sensory Processing Integration: Identification of sensory seeking or avoiding behaviours to create environments that reduce anxiety and prevent burnout.
- Emotional Regulation &Interoception: Development of internal awareness to help manage big emotions and build self-regulation strategies.
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL): Practical skill-building for independence in self-care, meal preparation, and community navigation.
- Social Participation & Communication: Support for navigating social nuances and building meaningful connections in a way that honours the individual’s natural communication style.
- Executive Functioning: Assistance with transitions, planning, and task initiation to manage school, work, or home life more effectively.
