Sensory processing Support at Little Stepping Stones — Across VIC
Little Stepping Stones in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Little Stepping Stones offers for sensory processing
Little Stepping Stones supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy that helps them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Sensory processing work at the clinic focuses on creating safe, structured opportunities for children to experience different sensations in ways that build confidence and self-regulation. Examples of interventions include using sensory swings and weighted equipment to help children organise their body awareness, practising fine motor activities like threading and scissor skills to improve hand coordination, and creating calm-down spaces with visual supports to help children recognise and manage sensory overwhelm. The team at Little Stepping Stones works with families to identify which sensory experiences help each child thrive, whether that's movement, touch, sound, or visual input. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. While an occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, they can assess how sensory challenges affect your child's daily activities and recommend practical strategies for home and school.

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 difficulties?
Children with sensory processing challenges may avoid certain textures or sounds, seek out intense sensory experiences, struggle with transitions, or have difficulty with everyday tasks like getting dressed or eating. An occupational therapist at Little Stepping Stones can assess how sensory responses affect your child's participation in daily activities, though they cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD. Your GP or paediatrician can discuss whether an OT assessment is appropriate.
Can Little Stepping Stones help if my child is on the NDIS?
Many families use NDIS funding to access occupational therapy services. Little Stepping Stones can discuss your funding arrangements and how sensory processing support fits within your plan. NDIS funding availability and amounts vary by individual plan (2025–26), so it's worth checking your plan details and contacting the clinic to discuss how they can support your child.
What happens during a sensory processing session?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and may include movement activities, hands-on exploration of different textures, fine motor practice, and strategies to help your child recognise and manage sensory responses. The occupational therapist will also work with you and your family to understand what sensory experiences help your child and provide practical ideas for home and school settings.
