Sensory processing Support at OT with Tahls — Across ACT
OT with Tahls in Across ACT lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services OT with Tahls offers for sensory processing
Children with sensory processing disorder often experience challenges with how their bodies interpret and respond to sensory information, which can affect their ability to engage in everyday activities. Fine motor skills—the precise movements needed for tasks like writing, buttoning, and eating—frequently overlap with sensory processing difficulties, as children need to coordinate hand strength, finger dexterity, and sensory feedback simultaneously. OT with Tahls supports children by addressing these interconnected areas through tailored interventions. Fine motor activities such as threading beads, scissor work, and playdough manipulation help children develop hand strength whilst simultaneously providing the sensory input their nervous systems may be seeking or needing to regulate. Therapists might also incorporate textured materials, resistance-based tasks, and graded challenges that allow children to build confidence and motor control at their own pace. For families accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26, occupational therapy services can be incorporated into participant plans to support these developmental goals. OT with Tahls works collaboratively with families to identify which sensory and fine motor strategies work best for each child's unique profile, creating practical strategies that extend beyond the clinic into home and school environments.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or other conditions like autism or ADHD. However, OTs are skilled at identifying sensory sensitivities and motor challenges through observation and assessment. OT with Tahls can work with your child's existing diagnosis or refer you to appropriate professionals for assessment if concerns arise during therapy.
How does fine motor work help with sensory processing?
Fine motor activities provide sensory input whilst building hand strength and coordination. Tasks like threading, cutting, and manipulating textured materials give children feedback about their hands' position and movement. This helps regulate their sensory system and improves their ability to perform daily tasks like writing and self-care with greater control and confidence.
Can I use NDIS funding for occupational therapy at OT with Tahls?
OT with Tahls' NDIS registration status is not currently confirmed. If you have an NDIS plan, we recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options and whether they can support your child under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. They can also advise on alternative payment options available.
