Sensory processing Support at Carousel Occupational Therapy — Burwood, NSW
Carousel Occupational Therapy in Burwood, NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Carousel Occupational Therapy offers for sensory processing
Carousel Occupational Therapy supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted interventions addressing how their nervous system responds to everyday sensations. Our sensory processing service helps children who struggle with sounds, textures, movement, or touch by gradually building tolerance and developing coping strategies in a safe, controlled environment. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted blankets to help calm an over-responsive nervous system, or introduce graded exposure to different textures during fine motor activities. Our fine motor service complements this work, as many children with sensory processing challenges also experience coordination difficulties—activities like threading beads, scissor work, or handwriting practice are tailored to build confidence while managing sensory input. Carousel Occupational Therapy recognises that sensory needs vary greatly between children, so therapy is individualised to each child's profile. If you're accessing NDIS support, our team can discuss how funding under the 2025–26 scheme might contribute towards therapy costs. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, we work collaboratively with your child's doctor or paediatrician to support their overall development and wellbeing.

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 has sensory processing disorder?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—this requires assessment by a paediatrician or developmental specialist. However, if your child struggles with everyday sensations (avoiding certain textures, covering ears, seeking movement constantly, or having difficulty with self-care routines), Carousel Occupational Therapy can assess their functional needs and support development. We recommend discussing concerns with your GP or paediatrician first.
Will occupational therapy 'fix' my child's sensory processing?
Occupational therapy helps children develop strategies to manage sensory input and build confidence in daily activities, rather than 'fixing' sensory processing. Through consistent, individualised therapy at Carousel Occupational Therapy, many children improve their ability to cope with challenging sensations and participate more comfortably in school, home, and social settings. Progress varies between children.
Can I use NDIS funding for therapy at Carousel Occupational Therapy?
We recommend contacting Carousel Occupational Therapy directly to discuss NDIS arrangements, as registration status and funding eligibility vary. If you have an NDIS plan, our team can advise how occupational therapy supports your goals and what costs may apply under 2025–26 pricing. Your NDIS coordinator can also provide guidance on approved providers.
