Sensory processing Support at Direct Focus Solutions — Wollongong, NSW
Direct Focus Solutions in Wollongong, NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Direct Focus Solutions offers for sensory processing
Direct Focus Solutions recognises that children with sensory processing disorder often struggle with how their bodies interpret and respond to sensory information from their environment. Our occupational therapy team uses evidence-based sensory processing interventions tailored to each child's unique needs. Through activities like controlled sensory experiences with swings, trampolines, and weighted equipment, we help children develop better body awareness and regulation. We also incorporate fine motor activities—such as threading, cutting, and manipulation tasks—to strengthen coordination whilst providing calming sensory input. Visual schedules and environmental modifications help children anticipate transitions and manage overwhelming situations more effectively. Direct Focus Solutions works with families to understand how sensory challenges affect daily routines like mealtimes, dressing, and sleep, then develops practical strategies for home. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements), which can support occupational therapy goals. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD; however, we assess functional difficulties and recommend strategies to improve participation in school, home, and community activities.

About sensory processing
Sensory Processing Disorder is the term often used by families and clinicians to describe difficulties with how a child's brain interprets and responds to sensory information. This can affect how a child manages sound, touch, movement, sights, smells, tastes, and body awareness.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has sensory processing disorder?
Children with sensory sensitivities may avoid certain textures, sounds, or movements; seek intense sensory input; struggle with transitions; or have difficulty with self-care routines. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, but can assess how sensory challenges affect your child's daily functioning and recommend strategies. Your GP or paediatrician can provide referral information.
Can Direct Focus Solutions help my child with NDIS funding?
Direct Focus Solutions works with families to support occupational therapy goals. NDIS funding eligibility and plan arrangements vary by individual. We recommend contacting the NDIS or your local coordinator to discuss whether occupational therapy is included in your child's plan for 2025-26, then speaking with our team about how we can assist.
What happens during a sensory processing session at Direct Focus Solutions?
Sessions are individualised based on your child's needs and goals. We might use sensory equipment like swings or weighted items, practice fine motor skills through play-based activities, work on body awareness, and teach calming strategies. We also collaborate with families to identify challenges at home and school, then develop practical strategies to support your child's participation and wellbeing.
