Early intervention Support at NAPA Centre — Across NSW
NAPA Centre in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services NAPA Centre offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on a child's ability to process and respond to sensory information from their environment. At NAPA Centre, occupational therapists support children with sensory processing difficulties through structured, play-based activities tailored to each child's needs. Sensory processing work helps children develop better body awareness, coordination, and confidence in everyday activities. Examples of interventions at NAPA Centre include using sensory swings and weighted equipment to help children regulate their responses to movement and touch, engaging in fine-motor activities like threading, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to build hand strength and control, and creating calm spaces with visual supports to help children transition between activities. These services support children's participation in daily routines such as eating, dressing, and playing with peers. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding to access occupational therapy services, with support available through the 2025–26 funding arrangements. While NAPA Centre offers these evidence-informed approaches, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions such as autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. The clinic works collaboratively with families and other professionals to support each child's development.

About early intervention
Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs sensory processing support?
Children with sensory processing difficulties may avoid certain textures or sounds, seem clumsy, struggle with transitions, or have trouble with self-care tasks like eating or dressing. An initial consultation at NAPA Centre can help identify whether your child might benefit from occupational therapy support. Your GP or early intervention service can also provide referrals.
Can occupational therapy diagnose my child's condition?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder—these require assessment by a medical professional such as a paediatrician or psychologist. However, NAPA Centre's occupational therapists can assess how sensory difficulties affect your child's daily activities and recommend targeted support strategies.
How can NDIS funding help access services at NAPA Centre?
If your child has an NDIS plan, funding can be allocated for occupational therapy services under supports for daily living or improved daily functioning. NAPA Centre can discuss eligibility and how to use your 2025–26 plan allocation. Contact the clinic directly to confirm their current registration status and funding arrangements.
