Services Ability Rehab offers for sensory processing
Ability Rehab lists sensory processing and fine motor services, which are commonly used together to support children with sensory processing disorder. According to its listing, the clinic offers sensory processing interventions that may help children who struggle with how their body processes touch, movement, sound, or visual information. Examples of activities typically used in this area include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help children regulate their responses, and structured play activities designed to build tolerance to different sensory experiences. Fine motor services listed by Ability Rehab often complement sensory work, as difficulties with coordination and hand strength frequently co-occur with sensory processing challenges. Fine motor interventions might include precision grip exercises, threading activities, or hand-strengthening tasks that also provide sensory feedback. Children with sensory processing concerns may access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements) if they have an approved plan, though eligibility and plan details vary by individual. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis typically comes from other health professionals. The clinic is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory snapshot, though this has not been independently verified.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder. However, they can assess how a child responds to sensory input and work with the child to build coping strategies and skills. Diagnosis typically comes from a paediatrician, psychologist, or other medical professional. Ability Rehab's occupational therapists can support children identified with sensory concerns through targeted intervention.
How does NDIS funding work with Ability Rehab for sensory processing support?
If a child has an approved NDIS plan that includes funding for occupational therapy, they may be able to access Ability Rehab's services. The clinic is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory snapshot. Funding amounts and plan details vary by individual. Parents should check their child's plan and contact the clinic directly to discuss how funding can be applied to sensory processing or fine motor sessions.
What kinds of activities might my child do in sensory processing sessions?
According to Ability Rehab's listing, sensory processing work may include activities with equipment like swings or weighted items, structured play to build sensory tolerance, and exercises that help children understand and respond to touch, movement, or sound. Fine motor activities such as threading, gripping, or hand-strengthening tasks often run alongside sensory work. The specific activities depend on each child's individual needs and responses.
