Services Child Sense offers for sensory processing
Child Sense provides targeted sensory processing support to help children develop better regulation and engagement with their environment. Through occupational therapy, the clinic addresses how children process sensory information—such as touch, movement, sound, and visual input—which can significantly impact their daily functioning and participation in school and home activities. Interventions at Child Sense may include work with sensory equipment like swings and trampolines to support vestibular and proprioceptive input, use of weighted tools and clothing to promote calming and focus, and fine-motor activities that build confidence with everyday tasks like writing and self-care. The clinic tailors each child's programme based on their individual sensory profile and goals. Many families access Child Sense services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy support under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD; however, they can identify sensory difficulties and work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support the child's development and participation across home, school, and community settings.

How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?

They can identify sensory patterns and recommend strategies to support your child.
