Sensory processing Support at Cooee Speech Pathology — Across QLD

Cooee Speech Pathology supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy interventions. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to everyday stimuli—such as sounds, textures, and movement—that may feel overwhelming or under-stimulating. This might include activities like using a sensory swing to develop body awareness, working with weighted equipment (blankets, vests, or lap pads) to improve focus, or exploring different textures through play-based activities. Fine motor support complements this by addressing coordination challenges that often co-occur with sensory processing differences, using exercises like threading, scissor work, and hand-strengthening games. At Cooee Speech Pathology, our occupational therapists create individualised plans based on each child's sensory profile and goals. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—diagnosis requires a medical professional—but our team works collaboratively with your child's healthcare providers to support their development and participation in daily activities.
