Sensory processing Support at Centre of Movement — Across QLD

Centre of Movement supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information. Sensory processing work at the clinic focuses on helping children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement in everyday environments. Specific interventions might include using sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, practising fine motor activities with different textures to build tolerance and skill, or working with visual supports to help children navigate transitions. The team at Centre of Movement works collaboratively with families to identify which sensory strategies work best for each child, whether that's deep pressure activities, movement breaks, or environmental modifications. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can support regular occupational therapy sessions. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but OTs can assess functional difficulties and support children in developing coping strategies and skills for daily life.
