Services Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services offers for early intervention
Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services in Chippendale supports children with early childhood development through targeted sensory processing work. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children respond to everyday experiences like touch, movement, and sound, which may impact their ability to engage in play, learning, and self-care routines. Our occupational therapists use evidence-based strategies to help children develop better sensory awareness and regulation. Examples of interventions include sensory swing activities to support vestibular input and body awareness, use of weighted equipment such as lap pads or vests to promote calming and focus during activities, and structured fine-motor exercises using textured materials to build hand strength and coordination. Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services can work with families to understand how sensory needs show up in daily routines and develop practical strategies for home and early learning settings. Therapy may be funded through the NDIS (2025–26 pricing arrangements apply), private health insurance, or out-of-pocket fees. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions such as autism or sensory processing disorder; however, they can assess functional difficulties and support skill development across all areas of early childhood 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 has sensory processing difficulties?
Children with sensory processing differences may avoid certain textures or sounds, seek intense sensory input (like spinning or jumping), struggle with transitions, or have difficulty with self-care routines like dressing or eating. An occupational therapist can observe how your child responds to everyday sensory experiences and discuss concerns with you. They cannot diagnose conditions, but can identify functional areas to support.
Can Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services help if my child is on the NDIS?
Yes. Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services can support children with NDIS plans. NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing) may cover occupational therapy services if sensory processing or early development goals are included in your child's plan. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can help.
What happens during a sensory processing session?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and needs. Your occupational therapist might use swings, textured materials, movement activities, or fine-motor tasks to help your child explore and respond to sensory input. You'll receive guidance on strategies to use at home, and progress is reviewed regularly with your family.
