Services Child Sense offers for early intervention

Child Sense supports early childhood development through specialised sensory processing interventions, helping children build foundational skills during critical developmental windows. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children interact with their environment, manage transitions, and engage in learning. At Child Sense, occupational therapists use evidence-based activities tailored to each child's needs. Examples include sensory motor circuits—combining movement activities like crawling through tunnels and balancing on wobble cushions to develop body awareness—and fine-motor play stations using textured materials, threading activities, and manipulative toys to strengthen hand strength and coordination. Visual supports and environmental modifications help children navigate routines more independently. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme, therapy sessions may be covered under early intervention supports; however, NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with Child Sense. Early intervention through sensory-focused occupational therapy can support children across NSW in developing confidence and participation in daily activities, though outcomes vary individually. Child Sense works collaboratively with families to embed strategies into home routines, maximising developmental progress.

About early intervention

Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions

Can occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder or autism?

No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. However, Child Sense therapists can observe sensory responses and functional difficulties, then refer you to appropriate medical professionals for diagnosis if needed. The OT's role is to support development and daily functioning regardless of diagnosis.

How do I know if my child needs sensory processing support?

Signs include difficulty with transitions, sensory-seeking or sensory-avoiding behaviours, challenges with fine-motor tasks, or trouble engaging in group activities. Child Sense offers initial assessments to understand your child's strengths and needs. An occupational therapist can discuss observations and recommend whether therapy would be beneficial for your child.

Does Child Sense accept NDIS funding?

NDIS registration status for Child Sense should be confirmed directly with the clinic, as it affects funding eligibility. If registered, early intervention therapy may be covered under 2025-26 NDIS plans for eligible children. Contact Child Sense to discuss your child's funding options and what support is available.
