Empowering Individuals with Autism
At Ohana Physiotherapy, we specialise in supporting children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through gentle, sensory-aware physiotherapy. Our goal is to build physical skills, confidence, and independence through movement programs designed for each individual’s needs and learning style.
We understand that no two people on the spectrum are alike — that’s why our approach is always personal, play-based, and neurodiversity-affirming.

How Physiotherapy Helps Individuals with Autism
Physiotherapy for people with autism goes far beyond strength or mobility. It focuses on:
- Improving gross motor skills like walking, jumping, and coordination
- Enhancing postural control and balance
- Supporting body awareness and spatial orientation
- Promoting self-regulation through movement
- Encouraging independent participation in physical and social activities
- Building capacity for school readiness, sport, and everyday tasks
Sensory-Aware, Individualised Therapy
Our therapists are trained to work with a wide range of sensory processing differences and communication styles. We adapt our sessions to create a calm, predictable, and engaging environment that supports regulation and trust.
Sessions may include:
- Movement-based regulation strategies
- Obstacle courses and play-based exercises
- Visual aids, routines, and social stories
- Collaboration with OTs, teachers, and speech therapists
Family-Centred & NDIS-Ready Support
We work closely with parents, caregivers, support workers and school teams to ensure therapy goals are consistent across all environments. Whether your child is building school readiness, or you’re a young adult working on community access or gym confidence — we’ve got a program for you.
- NDIS-supported therapy
- Home, school, or clinic sessions
- Goal-based plans with regular progress reports
- Flexible scheduling across Gold Coast & Tweed
