Sensory processing Support at Little Steps — Across NSW
Little Steps in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Little Steps offers for sensory processing
Little Steps supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy that addresses how their nervous system responds to everyday sensations. Sensory processing challenges can affect a child's ability to concentrate, participate in daily activities, and interact with peers. At Little Steps, our occupational therapists work with children to build tolerance and develop coping strategies for sensory experiences. Interventions might include using sensory swings or body socks to provide calming input, working with weighted equipment like lap pads or compression vests to improve body awareness, and practising fine-motor activities such as threading, cutting, or playdough manipulation to strengthen coordination. We also help children develop self-regulation techniques and may suggest environmental modifications for home and school settings. As an NDIS-registered provider, Little Steps can support families accessing funding through the 2025-26 scheme, making therapy more accessible. Each child's program is individualised, recognising that sensory needs vary significantly. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to ensure strategies are consistent across settings, helping children gradually build confidence and independence in managing sensory experiences.

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 occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. However, Little Steps' occupational therapists can assess how sensory experiences affect your child's daily functioning and development. If you suspect a diagnosis is needed, your GP or paediatrician can refer your child for formal assessment. Our OTs then work with any diagnosis to support your child's participation and wellbeing.
How does NDIS funding work with Little Steps?
Little Steps is NDIS-registered, meaning families with NDIS plans can use their funding to access our occupational therapy services. We can discuss your plan goals and how therapy supports them. Funding arrangements vary based on individual plans and 2025-26 pricing. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and how we can help maximise your child's support.
What should I expect in my child's first session at Little Steps?
Your child's first session involves getting to know them and understanding their sensory needs, strengths, and challenges. Our occupational therapist will ask about daily routines, school participation, and specific concerns. We'll observe how your child responds to different activities and environments. This information helps us develop a personalised therapy plan that makes sense for your family.
