Services Children’s Occupational Therapy offers for sensory processing
Children's Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing as a service area for paediatric clients. Sensory processing support typically involves helping children regulate their responses to sensory input—such as touch, sound, movement, and visual stimuli—that may feel overwhelming or under-stimulating. According to its listing, the clinic may use structured sensory activities tailored to individual needs.
Common approaches in sensory processing work include proprioceptive activities using weighted equipment or resistance exercises to help children feel more grounded; vestibular input through movement-based activities such as swinging or rocking to improve balance and spatial awareness; and fine-motor or tactile activities using varied textures and materials to build tolerance and coordination. Children's Occupational Therapy may also incorporate environmental modifications and activity grading to support gradual sensory adjustment.
Sensory processing difficulties can co-occur with various developmental conditions, though an occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. If a child accesses NDIS funding, sensory processing support may be eligible under capacity-building or core supports, depending on the participant's plan and goals. Families considering this service should confirm current availability, pricing arrangements for 2025-26, and whether Children's Occupational Therapy's registration status aligns with their funding pathway.

About sensory processing

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD, or other medical conditions. However, they can assess how a child responds to sensory input and support regulation and coping strategies. A formal diagnosis requires assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist. Children's Occupational Therapy can work alongside other professionals involved in your child's care.
Does Children's Occupational Therapy accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration for Children's Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. It is important to contact the clinic directly to confirm their current registration status, accepted funding types, and whether they can support NDIS participants under 2025-26 pricing arrangements. This will help determine eligibility and out-of-pocket costs.
What should I expect in a sensory processing session?
Sessions typically involve assessment of how your child responds to sensory input, followed by tailored activities—such as movement work, tactile play, or use of equipment—designed for their specific needs. The therapist may also suggest strategies and modifications for home and school. Children's Occupational Therapy can explain their specific approach during an initial consultation.
