Early intervention Support at Connect2Care — Caulfield, VIC
Connect2Care in Caulfield, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services Connect2Care offers for early intervention
Early childhood is a critical period for developing sensory processing skills, which form the foundation for learning, play, and everyday activities. At Connect2Care in Caulfield, our occupational therapists support children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. We use evidence-based strategies to build confidence and independence during these formative years. Common interventions include sensory motor activities such as swinging, jumping on trampolines, or crawling through obstacle courses to help children regulate their vestibular and proprioceptive systems. We also incorporate fine-motor activities like threading, playdough manipulation, and finger painting to strengthen hand skills and coordination. Additionally, Connect2Care may use weighted tools, textured materials, and structured play routines to help children process touch and movement more effectively. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025–26 financial year, occupational therapy services can be included in your plan to support early intervention goals. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and educators to ensure strategies are consistent across home and school settings, maximising your child's development.

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
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder or autism?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. However, our therapists at Connect2Care can identify sensory processing difficulties through observation and assessment, and we work alongside your child's doctor or paediatrician to support their overall development. We focus on building practical skills and strategies to help your child thrive.
How does NDIS funding work for occupational therapy at Connect2Care?
If your child is NDIS-eligible, occupational therapy can be funded through your plan. Connect2Care is NDIS-registered, meaning we can invoice the NDIA directly for services provided in the 2025–26 financial year. We recommend discussing therapy goals with your planner to ensure occupational therapy is included in your plan allocation.
What should I expect during my child's first appointment?
During the initial session, our occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns. We'll observe your child at play and during activities to understand their sensory needs. We'll then discuss findings with you and create a tailored therapy plan with achievable goals for your family.
