Sensory processing Support at Access Health Care — Across VIC
Access Health Care in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Access Health Care offers for sensory processing
Access Health Care supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy that addresses how their nervous system responds to everyday sensations. Our sensory processing service helps children who struggle with sounds, textures, movement, or visual input by gradually building tolerance and developing coping strategies in a safe, controlled environment. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted blankets to help calm an over-responsive system, or introduce graded exposure to challenging textures through play-based activities. Our fine motor service complements this work, as sensory difficulties often affect hand strength and coordination—activities like threading beads, scissor work, and handwriting practice build confidence alongside sensory regulation. Access Health Care recognises that many families access NDIS funding for occupational therapy support, and we work within the 2025–26 funding arrangements to help you maximise your plan. Each child's program is individualised, as sensory needs vary widely. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, but we can identify sensory patterns and develop practical strategies to support your child's participation at home, school, and in the community.

About sensory processing
Sensory Processing Disorder is the term often used by families and clinicians to describe difficulties with how a child's brain interprets and responds to sensory information. This can affect how a child manages sound, touch, movement, sights, smells, tastes, and body awareness.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—that requires a medical assessment. However, our OTs at Access Health Care can observe sensory patterns and behaviours, identify how sensory challenges affect your child's daily life, and develop targeted strategies to support them. We work alongside your child's doctor or paediatrician as part of their overall care.
How does Access Health Care make sensory therapy engaging for children?
We use play-based, child-led activities rather than clinical exercises. This might include sensory swings, textured exploration, movement games, or fine motor crafts. By making therapy enjoyable, children are more likely to engage, practise strategies at home, and develop positive associations with sensory challenges.
Can I use NDIS funding for sensory processing support at Access Health Care?
Many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy. We work within 2025–26 funding arrangements. We recommend checking your NDIS plan to confirm occupational therapy is listed as a support, then contacting Access Health Care to discuss how we can help you access your allocated funding.
