Sensory processing Support at New Ability Health — NSW

New Ability Health lists sensory processing and fine motor services as areas of support for children with sensory processing disorder. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory processing difficulties through interventions designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input. This might include activities such as work with sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, or exposure-based activities to help children become more comfortable with challenging sensations like different textures or sounds. Fine motor support listed by New Ability Health typically complements sensory work, as children with sensory processing difficulties often experience coordination or motor planning challenges alongside sensory sensitivities. Fine motor interventions may involve structured activities targeting hand strength, pencil grip, or coordination tasks that also incorporate sensory feedback. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. If a child has an NDIS plan, services listed by New Ability Health may be funded through occupational therapy supports under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, though parents are encouraged to verify the clinic's current NDIS registration status and eligibility criteria directly. The specific activities and duration of support would depend on individual assessment and planning.
