Sensory processing Support at NAPA Melbourne — Nunawading, VIC
NAPA Melbourne in Nunawading, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services NAPA Melbourne offers for sensory processing
NAPA Melbourne provides specialised sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness and regulation of sensory input from their environment. Through targeted occupational therapy, children learn to process sounds, textures, movement, and visual information more effectively. Our sensory processing service includes activities such as working with sensory swings and suspended equipment to improve balance and body awareness, using weighted tools and clothing to provide calming input, and engaging in fine-motor activities that build confidence with different textures and materials. Each child's program is tailored to their individual sensory profile and goals. NAPA Melbourne works with families to understand how sensory differences affect daily routines like mealtimes, dressing, and school participation. If your child is NDIS-funded, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan, though funding eligibility varies. We recommend discussing your child's needs with their GP or paediatrician, who can provide a referral. Our team can then work with you to develop strategies that support your child's sensory development and participation in everyday activities.

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
Can occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or other conditions like autism or ADHD. However, our team at NAPA Melbourne can assess how your child responds to sensory experiences and identify patterns that may be affecting their daily functioning. A diagnosis typically comes from a paediatrician or developmental specialist. We work alongside these professionals to provide targeted support based on your child's individual sensory needs.
How does NAPA Melbourne tailor sensory activities to my child?
We begin by understanding your child's sensory preferences and challenges through observation and discussion with you about their daily routines. NAPA Melbourne then designs activities matched to their specific needs—whether they seek more sensory input, feel overwhelmed by it, or struggle with particular textures or sounds. Sessions might include swings, weighted equipment, or fine-motor tasks, adjusted based on how your child responds and progresses over time.
Will NDIS funding cover my child's sensory processing support at NAPA Melbourne?
NDIS funding for occupational therapy depends on your child's individual plan and goals. For the 2025-26 financial year, eligible participants can access allied health services through their plans. We recommend checking your child's NDIS plan details or contacting the NDIS to confirm what's covered. NAPA Melbourne can discuss funding options with you during your initial consultation.
