Early intervention Support at Paper Scissors Play — Across NSW
Paper Scissors Play in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services Paper Scissors Play offers for early intervention
Paper Scissors Play supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Sensory processing challenges can affect how children engage with play, learning, and daily routines, and early support can make a meaningful difference. At Paper Scissors Play, therapists use evidence-based strategies to help children develop sensory awareness and regulation skills. Examples of interventions include sensory motor activities such as working with therapy swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, fine-motor play activities using textured materials and manipulatives to build hand strength and coordination, and environmental modifications that reduce overwhelming sensory stimuli during therapy sessions. The clinic works with families to understand each child's unique sensory profile and creates practical strategies for home and community settings. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements apply), which can support ongoing therapy. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions such as autism or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but Paper Scissors Play can help address the functional sensory challenges that affect a child's participation and 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 challenges may avoid certain textures or sounds, seek intense sensory input, struggle with transitions, or have difficulty with self-care routines like dressing or eating. An occupational therapist at Paper Scissors Play can observe your child's responses and discuss your concerns, though formal diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. Your GP or early childhood educator can also help identify whether an OT assessment would be helpful.
Can occupational therapy fix my child's sensory issues?
Occupational therapy helps children develop better sensory awareness and coping strategies, which can improve their participation in daily activities and play. Outcomes vary depending on the child's needs and consistency of support. Paper Scissors Play works collaboratively with families to build skills over time, but therapy is about supporting development rather than 'fixing' sensory differences.
