Try five minutes of child-led play: follow the child’s choice, imitate one action, pause and leave space for any response.
Name a real-life thing they want to do. We return the movement skills under it, plus one drill for this week.
The work is still exercise physiology and physiotherapy. Play and sport are how it gets done.
A checklist of five movements that make joining in easier, by age band. Age is a map, not a pass mark.
Eligible exercise physiology and physiotherapy may be paid from your NDIS plan. Funding depends on your support needs, approved supports and available budget; we discuss fees before paid sessions begin.
Get Your NDIS Exercise Health CheckI'm Victor, the head Exercise Physiologist behind Drift Health. Over 8 years working with autistic NDIS participants, the pattern I keep seeing is the same: exercise works when the environment is familiar, the structure is predictable, and the practitioner adapts to how someone communicates and regulates, instead of the other way around.
That's why we come to you, hold a session structure that stays consistent across visits, and shape the program around the way the person already moves.
