Sensory processing Support at Matt Mobile OT - Paediatric OT — Sorrento, WA

Children with sensory processing difficulties often struggle to interpret and respond to everyday sensory information, which can affect their confidence, learning, and social participation. Matt Mobile OT - Paediatric OT addresses these challenges through two key service areas. Sensory processing support helps children develop better awareness and regulation of their senses through tailored activities—such as using weighted blankets or vests during calming routines, engaging with textured play materials, or participating in movement-based activities like swinging or trampolining to build body awareness. Fine motor work complements this by addressing coordination and control, which frequently co-occur with sensory difficulties; examples include threading activities, scissor skills practice, and hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty. Matt Mobile OT - Paediatric OT works with families to identify which sensory strategies work best for each child's unique needs. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support when sensory processing impacts daily functioning. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD; however, they can assess how sensory challenges affect your child's participation and recommend practical strategies for home, school, and community settings.
