Sensory processing Support at Leaps and Bounds Disability Services — Across QLD

Leaps and Bounds Disability Services supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy that addresses how their nervous system responds to everyday sensations. Our sensory processing service helps children who find certain sounds, textures, movements, or lights overwhelming or underwhelming. We use evidence-informed strategies such as sensory diet activities—like using weighted blankets or pressure tools during play—and movement-based interventions including swinging or trampolining to help regulate their responses. Our fine motor service complements this by developing the hand strength and coordination needed for daily tasks; children might work with textured materials, threading activities, or adaptive utensils to build confidence during self-care and learning. At Leaps and Bounds Disability Services, we recognise that sensory and motor challenges often overlap, so we integrate both areas into individualised therapy plans. Many families access our services through NDIS funding, and our registered status means your child's therapy can be claimed under your plan. We work collaboratively with families to identify which sensory strategies work best in your home and school environments, supporting your child's participation in everyday routines.
