Sensory processing Support at Paper Scissors Play — Across NSW
Paper Scissors Play in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Paper Scissors Play offers for sensory processing
Paper Scissors Play supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy that addresses how their nervous system responds to everyday sensations. Sensory processing work at the clinic helps children become more comfortable with touch, movement, sound, and visual input—areas that can feel overwhelming or underwhelming for some children. During sessions, occupational therapists may use strategies such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, movement activities on swings or trampolines to help with balance and body awareness, and fine-motor tasks like threading or playdough work to build confidence with tactile experiences. Paper Scissors Play recognises that sensory sensitivities often affect learning, play, and daily routines, so therapy is designed around each child's individual needs and goals. Sessions may also include environmental modifications and strategies parents can use at home. If you're accessing support through the NDIS in 2025–26, occupational therapy services may be funded under your plan. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, they can assess how sensory differences impact your child's participation and recommend practical support.

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
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder. However, they can assess how your child responds to sensory input and how this affects their daily activities, learning, and play. If you suspect sensory processing difficulties, your GP or paediatrician can refer your child for formal assessment by a psychologist or developmental specialist.
How does Paper Scissors Play tailor sensory therapy to my child?
Paper Scissors Play begins with an assessment of your child's sensory preferences, sensitivities, and how these affect their routines. The occupational therapist then designs activities and strategies matched to your child's specific needs—whether they need calming input, movement opportunities, or help tolerating certain textures or sounds. Your involvement is important too; therapists share strategies for home.
Can we use NDIS funding for sensory processing support at Paper Scissors Play?
Sensory processing support through occupational therapy may be funded under your NDIS plan in 2025–26, depending on your child's goals and plan allocation. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting Paper Scissors Play directly to discuss funding eligibility and how they can support your NDIS arrangement.
