Sensory processing Support at Advantage Therapy — Across NSW
Advantage Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Advantage Therapy offers for sensory processing
Children with sensory processing disorder often experience difficulties with fine motor skills, as their nervous system may struggle to process sensory feedback needed for precise hand movements and coordination. Advantage Therapy addresses this connection by combining fine motor development with sensory integration strategies. During sessions, occupational therapists might use activities such as threading beads with varying textures to build finger strength whilst providing tactile input, or scissor work on different paper types to develop hand control and sensory awareness simultaneously. Weighted pencils and adaptive grips can help children who need additional proprioceptive feedback to write or draw more effectively. Advantage Therapy works with families to understand how sensory sensitivities affect daily tasks like dressing, eating, and schoolwork. For children accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, fine motor interventions addressing sensory needs can be incorporated into therapy goals. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD, but can identify functional difficulties and recommend strategies to support your child's participation in everyday activities.

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. However, they can identify functional difficulties with sensory processing and fine motor skills during assessment. If you suspect your child has sensory processing difficulties, your GP can refer you to appropriate diagnostic specialists. Advantage Therapy can then support your child's development regardless of diagnosis.
How does fine motor therapy help with sensory processing?
Fine motor activities provide sensory input whilst building hand strength and coordination. Using textured materials, weighted tools, and varied gripping activities helps children develop body awareness and motor control. Advantage Therapy tailors these activities to your child's sensory preferences, making therapy engaging whilst addressing functional skills needed for writing, self-care, and play.
Does Advantage Therapy accept NDIS funding?
Yes, Advantage Therapy is NDIS registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan, you can use your funding for occupational therapy services. Discuss your child's sensory and fine motor goals with the clinic to determine how therapy can be incorporated into your plan for the 2025-26 financial year.
