Sensory processing Support at Active Eight — Across QLD
Active Eight in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Active Eight offers for sensory processing
Active Eight supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information. Sensory processing therapy at Active Eight focuses on creating individualised programmes that address how children perceive and react to sounds, textures, movement, and other sensory inputs. Common interventions include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets and compression tools to provide calming input, movement-based activities using swings and trampolines to develop vestibular awareness, and fine-motor exercises with varied textures to improve tactile tolerance. The clinic may also incorporate visual schedules and environmental modifications to help children anticipate transitions and manage sensory overwhelm in daily routines. Active Eight recognises that sensory processing challenges can significantly impact a child's participation at school, home, and in the community. If your child has been referred for sensory processing support, occupational therapists can work with you to develop strategies tailored to their specific needs. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26) to support these services, depending on their circumstances and plan approval. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, they can provide valuable support once a diagnosis has been established by an appropriate medical professional.

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 might benefit from sensory processing support at Active Eight?
Children who struggle with sensory sensitivities—such as avoiding certain textures, sounds, or movements, or seeking intense sensory input—may benefit from support. Signs include difficulty with transitions, meltdowns in busy environments, or challenges with self-care routines. Active Eight can discuss your child's needs during an initial consultation. However, a formal diagnosis from a medical professional is typically needed before commencing therapy.
Can occupational therapy at Active Eight help my child's autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. However, if your child has been diagnosed with these conditions, Active Eight can provide therapy to address sensory and functional difficulties that often co-occur. An OT works alongside your child's medical team to support their participation and independence in everyday activities.

Active Eight's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options and payment arrangements.
