Sensory processing Support at Kids Connect Therapy — Mulgrave, VIC

Kids Connect Therapy in Across specialises in sensory processing support, helping children who experience difficulties with how their bodies interpret sensory information from their environment. Through targeted occupational therapy, the clinic addresses challenges such as over-sensitivity to sounds or textures, under-responsiveness to sensory input, or difficulty coordinating movements. Kids Connect Therapy uses evidence-informed interventions tailored to each child's needs. Examples include sensory diet activities—such as using weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input—and structured play with sensory equipment like swings, trampolines, or textured materials to help children regulate their responses. Fine motor activities, including threading, cutting, and handwriting practice, are also integrated to support overall sensory-motor development. Many families access Kids Connect Therapy's services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy support in the 2025-26 funding year. The clinic works collaboratively with families and other professionals to create practical strategies that children can use at home and school, supporting their participation in everyday activities.
