NDIS SERVICES
Functional Capacity Assessments
I specialise in Functional Capacity Assessments for autistic people and understand the unique ways autism can shape daily life, energy, routines and support needs. My assessments look beyond checklists and focus on how you actually move through your day.
We explore your strengths, challenges, sensory needs, executive functioning, interoception and the demands that impact your independence. The goal is to understand what truly gets in the way and what supports will make the biggest difference.
Whether you’re working toward independence, building daily skills or need clarity for NDIS funding, you’ll receive a clear, respectful report that accurately reflects your needs and your life.
Assistive Technology
I specialise in Assistive Technology assessments for autistic adults and understand how the right tools can reduce overwhelm, increase independence and make daily life easier. I look at what you actually need in your real environment, not generic equipment lists.
We explore mobility needs, sensory supports, executive functioning tools, communication preferences and anything that helps you move through your day with more safety, comfort and predictability. Recommendations are matched to your routines, goals and sensory profile.
I guide you through trials, product selection and NDIS funding processes so the equipment is practical, evidence based and genuinely helpful in your day to day life.
THERAPY PROGRAMS
My therapy programs are designed for autistic adults and are entirely personalised. They aren’t pre packaged or generic. Every program starts with understanding your routines, sensory profile, energy patterns, environment and the real barriers that make daily life harder. From there we build practical supports that match how you think, feel and function.
Areas of support include executive functioning, chronic health impacts, barriers to employment, demand avoidance, sensory processing differences, community access, emotional regulation, self care, home routines, social participation and increasing independence. The focus is always on reducing overwhelm, increasing predictability and creating systems that help you live more comfortably and confidently in your everyday life.
Minor Home Modifications
I assess home environments for autistic adults with a focus on safety, sensory needs and daily routines. Small changes can make a big difference when the environment feels predictable, accessible and low demand.
Modifications may include grab rails, step adjustments, handheld showers, layout changes or other practical supports that reduce effort and increase independence. Every recommendation is based on how you actually use your space, your sensory profile and what helps you feel steady and confident at home.
The goal is simple, effective modifications that fit your life and remove barriers without adding complexity or overwhelm.
Home and Living Assessments
I specialise in Home and Living Assessments for autistic people, including ILO, SIL and SDA. I understand how environment, sensory load, routines, predictability and support relationships can make or break daily life. These assessments look at how you actually live, not how you are expected to live.
We explore your safety, independence, sensory needs, executive functioning, communication preferences and the supports required for you to thrive in your home environment. The aim is to clearly show what you need now and what will help you live well into the future.
Whether you’re applying for new supports or requesting a plan review, you’ll receive a practical, respectful report that helps decision makers understand your support needs and the type of home environment that genuinely fits your life.
TELEHEALTH
Kintsugi OT is fully equipped to deliver high quality telehealth services for autistic adults across Australia. Telehealth is my preferred way of working because it reduces sensory load, saves energy and allows you to access support from the comfort of your own space.
Sessions are flexible, practical and personal, whether you’re at home, travelling or simply prefer remote therapy. All services are available online, with in person appointments only offered for clients within 30 minutes of Charlestown, NSW.
