Sensory processing Support at Ability Rehab — Ivanhoe East, VIC

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.
