Sensory processing Support at CliniKids — Joondalup, WA

CliniKids lists sensory processing as a service area for children experiencing difficulties with how their nervous system processes sensory information from their environment. According to its listing, the clinic addresses challenges such as over-responsiveness to sounds or textures, under-responsiveness to sensory input, or difficulty coordinating movement and balance. Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children regulate their responses and develop better tolerance for everyday sensations. Examples of activities that occupational therapists in this field commonly use include work with sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, exposure to varied textures through play-based activities, and movement-based exercises that help develop body awareness and coordination. CliniKids may also incorporate visual supports or environmental modifications to help children manage sensory demands in daily routines. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. Families with NDIS plans may be able to access funding for occupational therapy services, though CliniKids' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Eligibility and funding arrangements vary depending on individual NDIS plans and 2025-26 pricing structures. Parents considering this clinic are encouraged to contact CliniKids directly to discuss how services align with their child's needs and any available funding options.
