Services cohealth Occupational Therapy offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in fine motor skills and sensory processing. At cohealth Occupational Therapy in Across, our occupational therapists support children by addressing these key areas through play-based, individualised interventions. Fine motor development—such as grasping, hand strength, and coordination—underpins writing, self-care, and play. We use activities like threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to build these skills gradually. Sensory processing helps children interpret and respond appropriately to their environment; children who struggle may be over- or under-responsive to touch, movement, or sound. cohealth Occupational Therapy incorporates sensory strategies such as weighted lap pads, movement breaks on therapy balls, and tactile exploration activities to help children self-regulate and engage more effectively. Early intervention during these developmental windows can support participation in everyday routines and learning environments. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025–26), our team can discuss how therapy costs may be covered. We recommend consulting your GP or early childhood service for referral pathways.

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
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for early development?
Signs include difficulty with self-feeding, dressing, or pencil grip; avoiding certain textures or movements; or struggling to engage in play. Your GP, childcare educator, or early childhood nurse can help identify concerns and refer you to cohealth Occupational Therapy for an initial discussion. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, but can assess functional skills and recommend support.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists work with sensory sensitivities through graded exposure, environmental changes, and coping strategies tailored to your child's needs. Activities might include movement play, texture exploration, or noise management techniques. cohealth Occupational Therapy develops strategies families can use at home to support your child's comfort and participation in daily activities.
Is occupational therapy covered by NDIS?
Many children access occupational therapy through NDIS funding if they have an approved plan. Eligibility and funding amounts vary. cohealth Occupational Therapy can discuss your circumstances and help you understand potential funding options for 2025–26. We recommend contacting the NDIS or your local early intervention service for specific guidance on your child's eligibility.
