Happy Dots in Glendale, NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Happy Dots offers for sensory processing
Happy Dots supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy that helps them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Sensory processing work at Happy Dots involves creating individualised therapy plans that address how children experience touch, movement, sound, and visual input. Examples of interventions include using sensory swings and weighted equipment to help children regulate their nervous system, practising fine motor activities with different textures to build tolerance and coordination, and establishing structured routines with visual supports to reduce anxiety around transitions. The clinic works with families to identify specific sensory triggers and develop practical strategies for home and school settings. Many families access Happy Dots services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply), though funding eligibility varies by individual plan. An occupational therapist at Happy Dots cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—these diagnoses come from medical professionals—but they can assess functional difficulties and support your child's development across daily activities, learning, and social participation.

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, including those at Happy Dots, cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. Diagnoses come from medical professionals like paediatricians or developmental specialists. However, an OT can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily functioning and recommend targeted support strategies.
How do I know if my child might benefit from sensory processing support?
Children who struggle with loud noises, certain textures, busy environments, or transitions may benefit from sensory support. If your child avoids activities, seems overstimulated easily, or has difficulty with self-care routines, speaking with your GP or paediatrician is a good first step. They can refer you to Happy Dots for an occupational therapy assessment.
Can I access Happy Dots services through NDIS funding?
Many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services. Eligibility and funding amounts depend on your child's individual NDIS plan. Contact Happy Dots directly to discuss your situation and explore available funding options under 2025-26 pricing arrangements.
