Early intervention Support at Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy — Williams Landing, VIC

Sensory processing difficulties are common in early childhood development, and occupational therapy services that address sensory needs can support children in managing everyday activities and participation. Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing as a service area, which typically involves helping children process and respond appropriately to sensory information from their environment. Examples of activities used in this context include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help children regulate their responses to movement and touch, fine motor activities that build hand strength and coordination through play-based tasks, and environmental modifications that reduce overwhelming sensory input during daily routines. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions such as autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder; however, they can work with children to develop strategies for managing sensory experiences. Families accessing early intervention services may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, depending on their circumstances. Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed as NDIS registered in the current directory snapshot, so families should verify registration status directly with the clinic if NDIS funding is relevant to their situation.
