Who this is for
Parents and carers of neurodivergent children who want neuroaffirming OT for autism, ADHD, sensory needs, routines, regulation, school participation or daily independence.
We check whether telehealth is a sensible starting point for your child, which funding may apply, and what to do next. A diagnosis is not needed to enquire.
OT does not diagnose autism or ADHD. An occupational therapist works on daily function, participation and practical strategies, and can work alongside the team involved in your child's assessment. You do not need a diagnosis to ask about support.
- Autism, ADHD, sensory processing, routines, executive function, emotional regulation, social or school participation
- Parent coaching and practical strategies to use at home, kindy or school
- Neuroaffirming and trauma-informed OT; telehealth suitability checked first, with hands-on assessment or equipment needs directed in person where required
Telehealth suitability
Online OT works when the activity fits your child.
For children, telehealth works best when a parent or carer can join, help set up the activity and practise the strategy between sessions. We check age, goals and setup on the call and say clearly when in-person support is the better option.
Often suitable online
Coaching, routines and regulation
Parent coaching, daily routines, planning and organisation, executive function strategies, emotional regulation, handwriting strategy, school collaboration and sensory approaches that can be practised at home.
Sometimes better in person
Hands-on assessment and equipment
Hands-on assessment, equipment trials and work that depends on measuring the physical environment may need an in-person appointment. We will say so clearly on the call.
Telehealth suitability is checked first. Occupational therapy does not diagnose autism or ADHD, and no diagnosis is required to enquire. We confirm what fits your child before any appointment is discussed.
Tell us your child's age, what you have noticed and the setup at home. We confirm whether telehealth is suitable before any appointment is discussed.
What to send first
What to have ready when you call.
Share your child's age, suburb, main routine or school concern, funding type, and any reports or school feedback already available.
- Child age, suburb and main concern (routines, sensory, handwriting, organisation, attention, emotional regulation, social or school participation)
- Funding type, NDIS details if relevant, and school context
- Existing reports, referral details and whether an adult can join video sessions
What works online
Practical neuroaffirming support for your child, with you part of the session.
Telehealth can work well for parent coaching, routines, executive function, handwriting strategies, school liaison, emotional regulation and sensory strategies, with autism and ADHD support where it fits your child's goals. A parent or carer usually helps set up the activity, observes what works and practises the strategy between sessions.
NDIS, a Medicare referral or private payment may apply depending on your circumstances. We will confirm the practical option before you book.
