Services Newcastle Paediatric Occupational Therapy offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on a child's ability to process and respond to sensory information from their environment. Newcastle Paediatric Occupational Therapy supports children with sensory processing difficulties by helping them develop better awareness and regulation of touch, movement, sound, and visual input. Sensory processing work might include activities such as using a sensory swing to help organise balance and body awareness, working with weighted equipment like lap pads or compression vests to provide calming input, or engaging in fine-motor activities such as threading, playdough manipulation, and mark-making to build hand strength and coordination. These interventions help children participate more confidently in everyday routines like getting dressed, eating, and playing with peers. Newcastle Paediatric Occupational Therapy can work alongside early intervention services and may support families accessing NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements apply). An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions such as autism or sensory processing disorder; however, they can identify functional difficulties and design tailored activities to support your child's development and independence in daily life.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Children with sensory processing challenges may avoid certain textures or sounds, seek intense movement or touch, struggle with transitions, or have difficulty with self-care routines like bathing or eating. An occupational therapist can observe your child's responses to everyday activities and discuss your concerns. They cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, but can identify functional difficulties and recommend support.
Can Newcastle Paediatric Occupational Therapy help if my child is on an NDIS plan?
Newcastle Paediatric Occupational Therapy may support children with NDIS funding, depending on your plan and goals. NDIS pricing arrangements for 2025–26 apply. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your child's plan, funding availability, and how occupational therapy services can be incorporated into your early intervention support.
What happens during a sensory processing session?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and needs. The occupational therapist might use swings, weighted items, textures, movement activities, or fine-motor tasks to help your child develop better sensory awareness and regulation. You'll receive guidance on activities to continue at home, supporting your child's development across daily routines.
