Services Occupational Therapy Wollongong offers for sensory processing
Occupational Therapy Wollongong supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored sensory processing interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Children with sensory processing challenges may be over-responsive (finding certain textures, sounds, or movements overwhelming) or under-responsive (seeking intense sensory input). At Occupational Therapy Wollongong, therapists work with each child to identify their sensory preferences and create meaningful activities that support regulation and engagement. Examples of interventions include using sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, practising fine-motor activities with varied textures to build tolerance and coordination, and incorporating movement breaks into daily routines. The clinic may also help families establish sensory-friendly strategies at home and school. If you're accessing NDIS funding (2025-26), Occupational Therapy Wollongong can discuss how sensory processing support aligns with your child's plan. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—this requires a medical assessment—but they can provide valuable support once a diagnosis or concern has been identified by your child's doctor.

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
How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Signs include strong reactions to textures, sounds, or lights; difficulty with transitions; clumsiness; or seeking intense movement or input. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—your GP or paediatrician can refer you for assessment. Once identified, Occupational Therapy Wollongong can help support your child's needs through tailored activities and strategies.
What happens during a sensory processing session at Occupational Therapy Wollongong?
Sessions are play-based and individualised. Your therapist observes how your child responds to different sensory experiences, then guides them through activities like swinging, textures, or movement games. You'll receive strategies to use at home. Sessions build your child's awareness and help them self-regulate in everyday situations.
Can NDIS funding cover sensory processing support?
Sensory processing support may be funded under NDIS if it's included in your child's plan. Occupational Therapy Wollongong can discuss your funding options and how sensory interventions align with your goals. Contact the clinic to explore what's available for your circumstances.
