Services Occupational Therapy Charlestown offers for sensory processing
Occupational Therapy Charlestown supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored interventions designed to help them manage everyday sensations more comfortably. Sensory processing work at the clinic focuses on understanding how your child responds to sights, sounds, textures, and movement, then gradually building their tolerance and coping strategies. During sessions, occupational therapists may use activities such as sensory swing work to help regulate balance and vestibular input, weighted equipment like lap pads or vests to provide calming deep pressure, and fine-motor exercises using different textures and materials to desensitise tactile responses. These interventions are woven into play-based activities that feel natural and enjoyable for children. Occupational Therapy Charlestown recognises that many families access support through NDIS funding, and the clinic can discuss how sensory processing goals may align with participant plans under the 2025–26 funding arrangements. While NDIS registration status is being confirmed, the team works collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's sensory development and participation in daily routines at home, school, and in the community.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or conditions like autism or ADHD. However, they can observe how your child responds to sensory experiences and work with you and other professionals to support their sensory needs. If you're seeking a diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist.
How long does sensory processing therapy typically take?
The duration varies depending on your child's individual needs and goals. Some children benefit from short-term support to learn specific strategies, while others may benefit from ongoing sessions. Occupational Therapy Charlestown will discuss a timeframe with you during initial consultation based on your child's circumstances and any NDIS plan.
Will my child's sensory sensitivities go away completely?
Sensory processing work aims to help your child develop better coping strategies and gradually increase their comfort with challenging sensations, rather than eliminating sensitivities entirely. Many children learn to self-regulate and participate more fully in daily activities. Progress is individual, and Occupational Therapy Charlestown will track meaningful changes relevant to your family's goals.
