Services OT with Tahls offers for sensory processing
OT with Tahls lists fine motor support as a service that can be relevant for children with sensory processing disorder. Fine motor skills—such as pencil grip, hand strength, and coordination—are often interconnected with sensory processing, as children need to register and respond appropriately to tactile feedback to perform precise hand movements effectively.
According to its listing, OT with Tahls may address fine motor development through activities that simultaneously provide sensory input and build motor control. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists typically use for this overlap include threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, which combines tactile awareness with finger dexterity; scissor work and cutting activities, which require hand strength and proprioceptive feedback; and handwriting or drawing exercises using textured pencils or weighted utensils to enhance sensory awareness during writing tasks.
Children with sensory processing differences may struggle with fine motor tasks because they either seek additional sensory input or avoid certain textures and movements. OT with Tahls' fine motor support may help children develop the motor skills needed for daily activities like dressing, eating, and schoolwork while simultaneously addressing underlying sensory needs.
Funding for occupational therapy services can be accessed through various pathways. Families should verify whether OT with Tahls' NDIS registration status has been confirmed, as this affects eligibility for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements. Other funding options may include private health insurance, Medicare rebates via referral, or direct private payment.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD, or other conditions. However, they can assess how a child processes sensory information and how this affects their daily functioning, learning, and participation. An OT can work with findings from other professionals, such as paediatricians or psychologists, to support the child's needs.
What should I expect during an initial appointment at OT with Tahls?
Initial appointments typically involve the therapist gathering information about the child's developmental history, daily routines, and specific concerns. The therapist observes how the child engages with activities and their environment. OT with Tahls will likely discuss findings and work with families to identify goals and a plan moving forward, though specific processes should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
How do I know if my child's therapy will be covered by NDIS funding?
NDIS funding eligibility depends on your child's plan and approved supports. OT with Tahls' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options, or check with your NDIS planner about whether occupational therapy is listed in your child's plan and which providers are available in your area.
