Sensory processing Support at Mindful Motion — Wollongong, NSW
Mindful Motion in Wollongong, NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Mindful Motion offers for sensory processing
Mindful Motion 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, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities like getting dressed or eating certain foods. At Mindful Motion, our occupational therapists work with children to build tolerance and develop coping strategies through carefully graded sensory experiences. Interventions might include using sensory swings or body socks to provide calming input, working with weighted equipment like lap pads or vests to improve body awareness, and practising fine-motor activities that strengthen hand coordination whilst managing sensory feedback. We also help families create sensory-friendly routines at home and school. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, Mindful Motion can assess how sensory sensitivities impact your child's function and develop strategies to support them. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support. We recommend discussing funding options during your initial consultation.

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 be overly sensitive to sounds, textures, lights, or movement, or conversely, seek intense sensory input. Signs include avoiding certain foods, struggling with clothing tags, difficulty concentrating in busy environments, or unusual responses to touch. An occupational therapist at Mindful Motion can assess how sensory responses affect your child's daily functioning, though we cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD.
What happens during a sensory processing session at Mindful Motion?
Sessions are individualised based on your child's needs. The occupational therapist might use sensory equipment like swings or weighted tools, guide fine-motor activities, or teach calming strategies. Sessions also include discussion with parents about strategies to use at home and school. Each session builds on previous progress, gradually helping your child manage sensory input more effectively.
Can NDIS funding cover sensory processing support at Mindful Motion?
Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding under 2025–26 pricing arrangements. However, NDIS registration status varies, so we recommend contacting Mindful Motion directly to discuss your child's plan and whether our services are available to you. We can also advise on private payment options if needed.
