Sensory processing Support at Kerri-Anne Harris — Ipswich, QLD

Children with sensory processing difficulties often struggle with how their bodies interpret and respond to sensory information from their environment. Kerri-Anne Harris offers targeted support through two key service areas that work together to address these challenges. Sensory processing therapy helps children develop better awareness and regulation of their senses through carefully graded activities—such as work with sensory swings, weighted equipment, and tactile exploration stations—allowing them to build tolerance and confidence in different environments. Fine motor support complements this by addressing the coordination and control needed for everyday tasks, which are often affected when sensory processing is disrupted. For example, a child might use therapy putty exercises to strengthen hand muscles while simultaneously developing body awareness, or engage in threading and manipulation activities that refine both motor control and sensory feedback. Kerri-Anne Harris works with families to understand each child's unique sensory profile and can discuss how NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements) might support ongoing therapy if your child is registered. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, they can identify sensory concerns and implement evidence-based strategies to help children participate more comfortably in daily activities at home, school, and in the community.
