Sensory processing Support at Little Village Therapy — Across NSW

Little Village Therapy supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy that helps them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Sensory processing work at the clinic focuses on creating individualised experiences that gradually build a child's tolerance and regulation skills. Examples of interventions include using sensory swings and suspended equipment to provide vestibular input, which helps with balance and body awareness; weighted tools and lap pads during fine motor activities to provide calming proprioceptive feedback; and structured sensory circuits—sequences of movement and tactile activities—to help children organise their nervous systems before learning or social situations. Little Village Therapy recognises that sensory sensitivities can significantly impact a child's participation at home, school, and in the community. The clinic works collaboratively with families to identify specific triggers and develop practical strategies. If you're accessing NDIS support, occupational therapy services may be fundable under your plan for the 2025-26 financial year, though funding eligibility varies. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, they can assess sensory needs and provide evidence-based support to improve functional participation.
