Services Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services offers for sensory processing
Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services in Chippendale supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored interventions designed to help them better manage and respond to sensory information. Sensory processing work at the clinic focuses on understanding how each child experiences touch, movement, sound, and visual input, then creating strategies to support their everyday functioning. Therapists may use activities such as weighted blanket or compression garment trials to help children who seek deep pressure input, sensory swing work to develop balance and body awareness, or fine-motor activities using different textured materials to build tolerance and skill. The clinic works with families to identify which sensory experiences help or overwhelm their child, then incorporates these insights into home and school routines. Many families access Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services through NDIS funding (2025–26 arrangements), which can support ongoing sensory processing therapy. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, they can assess functional difficulties and recommend strategies to improve participation in daily activities like self-care, play, and learning.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder. However, they can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily activities and recommend practical strategies to help. If you're seeking a diagnosis, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist. Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services can work alongside any diagnosis your child receives.
What should I expect in a sensory processing session?
Sessions typically involve observing how your child responds to different sensory experiences, then trying activities tailored to their needs. This might include movement activities, tactile play, or using equipment like swings or weighted items. The therapist will discuss findings with you and suggest strategies for home and school to support your child's sensory needs throughout the day.
Can I access Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services through the NDIS?
Many families do access occupational therapy through NDIS funding. Eligibility and funding arrangements vary for each child. Contact Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services directly to discuss your child's situation and whether NDIS support may be available under 2025–26 arrangements. Your NDIS planner can also advise on therapy funding options.
