Services Access to Therapy offers for sensory processing
Access to Therapy supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy interventions designed to help them better manage and respond to sensory information. Sensory processing work at Access to Therapy focuses on understanding how each child's nervous system responds to sights, sounds, textures, and movement, then gradually building their tolerance and coping strategies. Examples of activities used include work with sensory swings and suspended equipment to help children regulate through vestibular input, use of weighted tools and clothing to provide calming proprioceptive feedback, and structured fine-motor activities that build confidence with different textures and materials. The therapists at Access to Therapy create individualised programmes that can be incorporated into daily routines at home and school. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26), which can cover occupational therapy supports when sensory processing difficulties impact a child's participation and development. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but therapy can meaningfully support children who have received these diagnoses or who show signs of sensory sensitivities.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. Diagnosis comes from medical professionals such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. However, an OT can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily life and provide therapy to help them manage and respond to sensory information more effectively.
How do I access therapy at Access to Therapy, and can NDIS funding help?
Contact Access to Therapy directly to discuss your child's needs and arrange an initial appointment. Many families fund occupational therapy through NDIS (2025-26), which can cover services when sensory difficulties impact your child's development and participation. Access to Therapy can discuss funding options and eligibility with you during your first consultation.
What should I expect during sensory processing therapy sessions?
Sessions are tailored to your child's individual needs and may include activities like sensory swings, weighted equipment work, and fine-motor tasks. The therapist will observe how your child responds to different sensory experiences and gradually introduce strategies to help them regulate. You'll receive guidance on activities to practise at home to support progress between sessions.
