Services Firstchance offers for early intervention
Firstchance lists sensory processing support as part of its service offerings for early childhood development. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children respond to everyday experiences like touch, movement, sound, and visual input, and may impact their ability to engage in play, learning, and self-care routines.
According to its listing, Firstchance addresses sensory needs through occupational therapy approaches. Typical interventions in this area include activities such as sensory swing work to help children develop body awareness and balance, use of weighted equipment or pressure activities to support calming and focus, and fine motor exercises combined with sensory exploration using different textures and materials. An occupational therapist might also incorporate movement-based play or environmental modifications to help children process sensory information more effectively.
For families accessing early intervention support, sensory processing services may be eligible for funding under NDIS arrangements in the 2025-26 financial year, depending on a child's plan and goals. However, NDIS registration for Firstchance has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents considering this clinic should verify funding eligibility and registration status directly with the service before commencing.

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
How do occupational therapists assess sensory processing difficulties in young children?
Occupational therapists typically observe how a child responds to different sensory experiences during play and daily activities, and may use structured assessments. They gather information from parents about the child's reactions to touch, movement, sounds, and textures at home. This helps identify patterns and informs individualised intervention planning. An OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, but can identify sensory support needs.
What should parents expect during a sensory processing session at Firstchance?
Sessions typically involve play-based activities tailored to the child's sensory needs and interests. The occupational therapist may use equipment like swings or weighted items, incorporate different textures and movements, and provide guidance to parents on strategies to use at home. Sessions are usually child-led and focus on building positive sensory experiences while supporting development.
Is Firstchance registered with the NDIS, and can sensory processing support be funded?
NDIS registration for Firstchance has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to confirm registration status and discuss funding eligibility. If a child has an NDIS plan with early intervention goals, sensory processing services may be fundable depending on the plan's goals and budget allocation.
