Sensory processing Support at Acacia Therapy — Prairie, QLD

Acacia Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor services as areas of support. For children with sensory processing disorder, occupational therapists typically use sensory processing interventions to help children regulate their responses to touch, sound, movement, and other sensory input. Common activities might include work with sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, obstacle courses that challenge balance and coordination, or structured play activities designed to help children tolerate and organise sensory information. Fine motor services often complement sensory work, as difficulties with hand strength, dexterity, or coordination frequently co-occur with sensory processing challenges. Acacia Therapy may address fine motor skills through activities such as threading, scissor work, or hand-strengthening exercises integrated into play-based sessions. Children with sensory processing concerns may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme if they meet access criteria; the clinic is listed as NDIS registered according to its directory entry, though this has not been independently verified. Parents considering referral should discuss with their child's GP or paediatrician whether an occupational therapy assessment might be appropriate, as occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder but can assess functional difficulties and recommend strategies.
