Services KidSkills Occupational Therapy offers for sensory processing
KidSkills Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor support as core services. For children with sensory processing difficulties, the clinic's sensory processing service typically involves structured activities designed to help children regulate their responses to touch, movement, sound, and visual input. According to its listing, this may include use of equipment such as weighted blankets or vests, sensory swings, or textured materials during sessions. Fine motor work often complements sensory intervention, as children with sensory processing differences frequently experience coordination or dexterity challenges alongside their sensory needs. KidSkills Occupational Therapy may address fine motor skills through activities like threading, scissor work, or pencil grip exercises tailored to each child's sensory profile.
Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis remains the role of medical practitioners. However, an OT can work with a child's existing diagnosis and support functional goals in daily life. Families accessing services may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme, depending on their plan and goals, though NDIS registration for KidSkills Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and whether the services listed align with their child's needs.

Common questions
How can occupational therapy help a child who struggles with sensory sensitivities?
Occupational therapists work with children to build tolerance and regulation strategies for sensory input. KidSkills Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing services that may include graded exposure to different textures, movements, and sounds in a controlled environment. The goal is to help children function more comfortably in everyday settings like school or home, not to eliminate sensitivities entirely.
Will the occupational therapist diagnose my child with sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or other conditions like autism or ADHD. Diagnosis is the role of medical practitioners such as paediatricians or developmental specialists. However, KidSkills Occupational Therapy can support a child with an existing diagnosis and work toward functional goals in daily activities.
Can NDIS funding be used for services at KidSkills Occupational Therapy?
NDIS registration for KidSkills Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families with NDIS plans should contact the clinic directly to ask about their registration status and whether services can be funded under the 2025-26 scheme. Other funding options may also be available.
