Services EquipKids offers for sensory processing
EquipKids lists sensory processing and fine motor services as areas it addresses. For children with sensory processing difficulties, sensory processing interventions typically aim to help children respond more appropriately to sensory input from their environment. According to its listing, EquipKids may use activities such as work with sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming or organising input, depending on each child's sensory needs. Fine motor services often complement sensory work, as difficulties with coordination and hand strength can overlap with sensory processing challenges. EquipKids may incorporate fine motor activities like threading, scissor work, or manipulation of textured materials that simultaneously address both sensory and motor development.
Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis typically comes from other health professionals. If a child has been identified with sensory processing difficulties, funding through the NDIS (2025-26) may be available to support therapy sessions, depending on the child's plan and goals. EquipKids' NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so parents should contact the clinic directly to clarify funding eligibility and whether sessions can be claimed under an existing NDIS plan.

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 can occupational therapy help a child who seems oversensitive or undersensitive to sensory input?
Occupational therapists work with children to help them process sensory information more effectively through structured activities and environmental modifications. EquipKids lists sensory processing as a service area. Therapy might include activities designed to calm an oversensitive child or provide more input for an undersensitive child, tailored to that individual's needs. An OT cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, but can support children identified with these difficulties.
Does EquipKids accept NDIS funding?
EquipKids' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to ask whether it is registered with the NDIS and whether sessions can be claimed under an existing plan. If the clinic is registered, therapy costs in 2025-26 would be covered according to the child's approved NDIS goals and budget.
What is the connection between fine motor skills and sensory processing?
Fine motor skills—such as writing, cutting, and picking up small objects—rely partly on sensory feedback from the hands and fingers. EquipKids lists both sensory processing and fine motor services. Children with sensory processing difficulties may struggle with fine motor tasks because they have difficulty sensing hand position or controlling grip pressure. Therapy often addresses both areas together through activities like threading or scissor work.
