Sensory processing Support at Kids Play — Across QLD

Kids Play supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Our sensory processing service focuses on creating individualised therapy plans that address each child's unique sensory needs. During sessions at Kids Play, children might engage in activities such as working with sensory swings to develop vestibular awareness and body coordination, using weighted equipment like lap pads or compression vests to provide calming input, or participating in fine-motor activities that build confidence with everyday tasks like writing and self-care. Our occupational therapists also help families understand their child's sensory preferences and create supportive home environments. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, we can assess sensory responses and support children's participation in daily activities. Many families access Kids Play's services through NDIS funding, which may cover occupational therapy under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. We work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support each child's development and wellbeing.
