Sensory processing Support at Child Sense — Across NSW
Child Sense in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Child Sense offers for sensory processing
Child Sense provides specialised sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness and regulation of their sensory experiences. Through targeted occupational therapy, the clinic addresses how children respond to sounds, textures, movement, and visual input in their everyday environments. Interventions at Child Sense may include sensory motor activities such as work with suspended equipment like therapy swings to improve body awareness and vestibular processing, use of weighted tools and clothing to provide calming input, and fine motor activities that build confidence with different textures and materials. Therapists also help children develop self-regulation strategies they can use at home and school. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when a child has an approved plan. Child Sense works collaboratively with families to identify sensory triggers and create practical strategies tailored to each child's needs. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, they can support children experiencing sensory sensitivities and help them participate more comfortably in daily activities.

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
Can occupational therapy at Child Sense diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or other conditions like autism or ADHD. However, Child Sense therapists can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily functioning and provide targeted support to help them manage sensory experiences more effectively. A paediatrician or developmental specialist would need to provide any formal diagnosis.
How can NDIS funding help us access services at Child Sense?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy services may be covered under your funding allocation. Child Sense can work with you to understand how sensory processing support fits within your plan. Pricing arrangements for 2025-26 apply to sessions. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting Child Sense directly to discuss how your funding can be used.
What kinds of activities does sensory processing therapy involve?
Sessions at Child Sense may include movement activities using swings or balance equipment, tactile exploration with different textures, fine motor tasks, and games designed to build body awareness. Therapists also teach strategies for self-regulation and work with families to adapt home and school environments. Each child's program is individualised based on their sensory needs and goals.
