OT for Autism and ADHD

Autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficient hyperactivity disorder are neurodevelopmental disorders that impact a person’s social interaction, communication, behaviour and processing.  

 

Our OTs understand that every neurodivergent person has unique strengths, challenges, and ways of experiencing the world. We work collaboratively with you to develop strategies that enhance your daily life while respecting your individual needs and preferences. 

 

How We Can Help 

We support adults with autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence to: 

• Create routines that work with your natural patterns 

• Develop strategies for executive functioning challenges 

• Manage sensory sensitivities in home and work environments 

• Build confidence in social situations 

• Navigate work or study environments 

• Organise living spaces to reduce stress and increase efficiency 

• Find ways to regulate energy and emotions 

• Identify and engage in meaningful activities 

• Self-compassion and self-esteem 

• Interoception - becoming aware of body signals and connecting them to emotions 

• Building life skills (such as cooking, cleaning, shopping) 

• Improve executive functioning (planning, organising, task initiation, motivation, time management) 

 

We support clients with Medicare (Mental Health Care Plans and Chronic Disease Management Plans), private health funds or privately paying clients.
