Sensory processing Support at Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan — Across NSW
Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan offers for sensory processing
Children with sensory processing disorder often experience difficulties coordinating their movements and managing everyday tasks, which is where fine motor support becomes valuable. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic addresses these challenges through targeted fine motor interventions that help children develop the hand strength, coordination and control needed for writing, self-care and play. Fine motor activities naturally incorporate sensory input—for example, threading beads or manipulating textured materials provides tactile feedback whilst building finger dexterity, and scissor work combines proprioceptive input with motor planning. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan and the team may also use graded resistance activities, such as playdough manipulation or fastener practice, which engage sensory systems whilst improving functional skills. These interventions support children in developing confidence with daily activities like dressing, eating and schoolwork. If you're considering support through NDIS funding (2025-26), occupational therapy services addressing fine motor skills may be eligible under participant goals related to daily living and community participation. The clinic can discuss how fine motor work aligns with your child's individual needs and funding arrangements.

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
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or other conditions like autism or ADHD. However, Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan can assess how sensory sensitivities and motor skills affect your child's daily functioning and recommend strategies to support them. A formal diagnosis requires assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist.
How does fine motor therapy help a child with sensory processing difficulties?
Fine motor activities provide structured sensory input whilst building hand strength and coordination. Tasks like threading, playdough work and scissor use give children tactile and proprioceptive feedback, helping them develop body awareness and control. These skills support writing, self-care and play—areas where sensory processing challenges often create difficulty.
