Sensory processing Support at Foundations Therapy & Support — Across VIC

Foundations Therapy & Support in Across VIC specialises in helping children who experience sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy. Sensory processing work addresses how children's nervous systems respond to everyday stimuli—such as sounds, textures, movement, and touch—which can feel overwhelming or underwhelming. Our therapists use graded sensory experiences to help children develop better regulation and coping strategies. For example, we might incorporate sensory swing work to provide vestibular input that calms the nervous system, or use weighted equipment like lap pads during fine motor activities to improve body awareness. Fine motor interventions at Foundations Therapy & Support often integrate sensory components, such as textured materials during handwriting practice or resistance-based activities that strengthen hand muscles whilst providing proprioceptive feedback. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025–26 arrangements), which can support regular therapy sessions tailored to each child's sensory profile. We work collaboratively with families to identify which sensory strategies work best in home and school environments, supporting children to participate more comfortably in daily activities.
