Sensory processing Support at Link Health and Community – Oakleigh — Across VIC
Link Health and Community – Oakleigh in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Link Health and Community – Oakleigh offers for sensory processing
Link Health and Community – Oakleigh supports children with sensory processing difficulties through two key service areas. Our sensory processing service helps children who struggle with how their bodies interpret touch, movement, sound, and other sensations. This might involve activities like using a sensory swing to help organise balance and coordination, working with weighted equipment to provide calming input, or practising activities in different sensory environments to build tolerance and confidence. Our fine motor service addresses the hand strength and coordination skills that often overlap with sensory challenges, such as difficulty with pencil grip, fastening buttons, or manipulating small objects. These services work together because sensory awareness directly supports fine motor control. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh can work with families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements) to support these goals, though we recommend confirming registration status directly. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, but can identify sensory-related difficulties and recommend strategies to help your child engage more comfortably at home, school, and in the community.

About sensory processing
Sensory Processing Disorder is the term often used by families and clinicians to describe difficulties with how a child's brain interprets and responds to sensory information. This can affect how a child manages sound, touch, movement, sights, smells, tastes, and body awareness.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has sensory processing disorder?
Children with sensory processing difficulties might avoid certain textures, sounds, or movements; seek out intense sensory experiences; struggle with transitions; or have difficulty with everyday tasks like getting dressed. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, but can assess how sensory challenges affect your child's daily life and recommend strategies. Your GP or paediatrician can discuss whether further assessment is needed.
Can Link Health and Community – Oakleigh help if my child is on the NDIS?
Link Health and Community – Oakleigh may support children with NDIS plans, though we recommend confirming current registration status directly with the clinic. If registered, occupational therapy services can often be funded through NDIS plans (2025-26 pricing arrangements). Contact the clinic to discuss your child's plan and how services might be accessed.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
The occupational therapist will typically chat with you about your child's sensory experiences, observe how they move and interact, and discuss everyday challenges at home and school. They'll then work with you to identify goals and suggest activities and strategies tailored to your child's needs. Appointments are usually play-based and child-friendly.
