Sensory processing Support at Grow and Flow — Geebung, QLD

Grow and Flow lists sensory processing as a service area for children requiring support with how their nervous system responds to sensory information. Children with sensory processing difficulties may experience challenges with touch, sound, movement, or visual input, which can affect daily activities like eating, dressing, playing, or learning. According to its listing, Grow and Flow offers occupational therapy that may address these areas through tailored activities and environmental modifications.

Sensory processing support typically involves structured activities designed to help children develop better responses to sensory input. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists commonly use include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help children regulate their responses, fine motor activities using textured materials or tools to build tolerance and skill, and environmental adjustments like reducing background noise or modifying lighting. Grow and Flow may also incorporate movement-based activities or play-based strategies tailored to each child's sensory profile.

For families accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26, occupational therapy services may be covered under capacity building or core supports, depending on the child's plan. Parents considering Grow and Flow should discuss how the clinic's approach aligns with their child's specific sensory needs and goals. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis typically involves assessment by other health professionals.
