Autism Services

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts a persons’ thinking, feeling, learning, language, and relationships. The most common indictors of autism are repetitive behaviours and sensory sensitivities, however autism is known as a spectrum disorder as no two individuals present the same.

For this reason, autism intervention and autism treatment is comprehensive and needs to be tailored to the individual. At SensesWA we work with autism specialists to support individuals with autism to achieve an improved quality of life, through various autism specific programs and therapies. Our autism care includes speech therapy and occupational therapy to support individuals living with autism and their families.
