Services Little Stepping Stones offers for sensory processing
Little Stepping Stones provides specialised sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory information in their everyday environment. Through targeted sensory processing interventions, the clinic works with children who experience difficulties with touch, movement, sound, or visual input that may affect their learning, play, and social participation. Examples of activities used at Little Stepping Stones include sensory swing work to support vestibular (balance and movement) development, use of weighted equipment such as lap pads or compression vests to provide calming input, and structured fine-motor exercises that build body awareness. The clinic also incorporates visual schedules and environmental modifications to help children anticipate transitions and manage sensory demands. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support when a child has an approved plan. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but Little Stepping Stones can assess sensory functioning and develop strategies to support your child's participation 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
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. However, they can assess how your child processes sensory information and identify strategies to help them manage sensory challenges. A diagnosis must come from a medical professional such as a paediatrician or psychologist. Little Stepping Stones can work alongside these professionals to support your child.
How can I access services at Little Stepping Stones if I think my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Contact Little Stepping Stones in Across to discuss your concerns. The clinic can conduct an occupational therapy assessment to understand your child's sensory needs. If your child has an NDIS plan, sensory processing support may be funded. If not, the clinic can discuss private fees or help you explore other funding options available in 2025–26.
What kinds of activities will my child do in sensory processing sessions?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs but may include sensory swings, weighted equipment, movement activities, fine-motor tasks, and environmental adjustments. The occupational therapist at Little Stepping Stones will work with you to identify strategies that help your child feel calmer, more organised, and better able to participate in daily routines at home and school.
