Sensory processing Support at Capability Support Services — Across NSW

Capability Support Services specialises in sensory processing support for children across NSW, recognising that sensory sensitivities can significantly impact daily functioning, learning, and social participation. Through tailored occupational therapy, the clinic helps children develop better sensory regulation and coping strategies. Interventions may include sensory diet activities—such as using weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input—and movement-based exercises like swinging or trampolining to help organise the nervous system. Fine motor activities, including threading, cutting, and handwriting tasks, are often graded to match each child's sensory needs. Capability Support Services also works with families to create sensory-friendly environments at home and school, using tools like visual schedules to reduce anxiety around transitions. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, they can assess how sensory differences affect your child's participation and recommend evidence-based strategies. Many families access these services through NDIS funding; under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements, occupational therapy support is available as a funded category. The clinic works collaboratively with families to identify goals that matter most to your child's everyday life.
