Services Marena Matthews offers for sensory processing
Marena Matthews provides specialised sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness and regulation of sensory information. Through targeted occupational therapy, the clinic addresses difficulties children may experience with touch, sound, movement, and other sensory inputs that can affect their daily functioning. Specific interventions at Marena Matthews include sensory motor activities using equipment such as therapy swings and weighted tools to help children organise their sensory systems, fine motor exercises that build hand strength and coordination whilst providing tactile feedback, and environmental modifications that reduce overwhelming sensory stimuli. The clinic works collaboratively with families to identify sensory triggers and develop practical strategies for home and school settings. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, they can assess sensory-related difficulties and support children's participation in everyday activities. Families accessing services through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year) may be able to use their plan allocations for occupational therapy at Marena Matthews, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic.

About sensory processing

Common questions
How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Children with sensory processing difficulties may avoid certain textures or sounds, seek intense sensory input, struggle with transitions, or have difficulty with self-care routines. An occupational therapist at Marena Matthews can assess your child's sensory responses and functional challenges, though they cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD. If you're concerned, an initial consultation can help clarify whether sensory support would be beneficial.
Can Marena Matthews help my child if they have autism or ADHD?
Marena Matthews can support children with autism or ADHD who experience sensory processing difficulties, as occupational therapy addresses how sensory challenges affect daily activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose these conditions. If your child hasn't been assessed, your GP or paediatrician can provide referrals for diagnostic evaluation alongside occupational therapy support.
Will NDIS funding cover therapy at Marena Matthews?
Many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services. For the 2025-26 funding year, you can use your plan allocation if the provider is registered. Contact Marena Matthews directly to confirm their current NDIS registration status and discuss how your child's plan might support sensory processing therapy with them.
