Services Active Eight offers for sensory processing
Active Eight supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy tailored to each child's unique needs. Sensory processing challenges can affect how children respond to everyday stimuli like sounds, textures, movement, and touch, impacting their participation in school, play, and daily routines. At Active Eight, occupational therapists use evidence-based strategies to help children develop better sensory regulation and coping skills. Interventions might include sensory motor activities such as working with weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, movement-based activities using swings or trampolines to support vestibular and proprioceptive development, and fine-motor tasks with varied textures to build tolerance and coordination. The clinic also helps families understand their child's sensory profile and implements practical strategies for home and school environments. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible participants. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but Active Eight can assess functional sensory needs and work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to support your child's development.

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
How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Children with sensory processing challenges may avoid certain textures or sounds, seek intense sensory input, struggle with transitions, or have difficulty with self-care routines like showering or haircuts. An occupational therapist at Active Eight can assess how sensory differences affect your child's daily functioning. However, only medical professionals can diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder. An OT assessment helps identify your child's specific needs and guides therapy planning.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at Active Eight?
Many children access occupational therapy through NDIS funding under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements. However, Active Eight's NDIS registration status is not yet confirmed, so it's worth contacting the clinic directly to discuss current funding options and what's available for your child. They can advise on payment arrangements and help you understand what services may be covered.
What should I expect during my child's first visit to Active Eight?
Your first appointment typically involves the occupational therapist gathering information about your child's sensory preferences, daily routines, and any concerns. They may observe your child during play or activities to understand their sensory responses. This helps Active Eight develop a personalised therapy plan. You'll be involved in discussing goals and strategies to support your child both in the clinic and at home.
