Early intervention Support at Bankstown Community Resource Group — NSW

Bankstown Community Resource Group provides early intervention occupational therapy services designed to support children's development during the critical early years. Through targeted activities and strategies, the clinic helps children build foundational skills across motor development, sensory processing, and daily living tasks. For example, therapists might use fine-motor exercises such as threading beads, playdough manipulation, or scissor activities to strengthen hand strength and coordination. Sensory-based interventions—like controlled exposure to different textures, movement activities on therapy equipment, or structured play routines—help children develop better awareness of their bodies and environments. The clinic also implements visual schedules and routine-based strategies to support children's understanding of daily transitions and expectations. Bankstown Community Resource Group works with families to embed these strategies into everyday routines at home and in childcare settings. Many families access early intervention services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), though funding eligibility varies. The occupational therapists collaborate with families and other professionals to create individualised plans that support each child's unique developmental pathway during these formative years.
