Sensory processing Support at Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy — Upper Mount Gravatt, QLD

Children with sensory processing disorder often experience difficulties with fine motor tasks, as their nervous system may struggle to regulate input and coordinate precise hand movements. Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Upper Mount Gravatt addresses this by combining sensory regulation strategies with targeted fine motor activities. Our occupational therapists use evidence-based interventions such as hand strengthening exercises with therapy putty, threading and bead work to improve finger dexterity, and scissor skills practice with graded resistance tools. These activities help children develop the motor control and confidence needed for everyday tasks like writing, eating, and dressing. We also incorporate sensory-motor activities—such as manipulating textured materials or using weighted pencils—to help children process sensory information whilst building fine motor competence. At Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy, we work collaboratively with families to identify which sensory inputs support your child's learning and participation. Funding through the NDIS (2025–26) may be available to support occupational therapy services; we encourage families to discuss eligibility and funding arrangements with their NDIS planner.
