Sensory processing Support at Peninsula Kids OT — Across VIC
Peninsula Kids OT in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Peninsula Kids OT offers for sensory processing
Peninsula Kids OT supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted interventions addressing both sensory integration and fine motor skills. Our sensory processing service helps children who struggle with responding to touch, sound, movement, or visual input by creating individualised therapy plans. For example, we use sensory swings and weighted equipment to help children regulate their nervous system and improve body awareness. We also incorporate fine motor activities—such as threading, scissor work, and hand strength exercises—as these skills are often interconnected with sensory processing challenges. Many children benefit from a combination approach: calming sensory input through deep pressure activities alongside precision tasks that build confidence and coordination. Peninsula Kids OT is NDIS registered, meaning eligible children can access these services through NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year. Our therapists work collaboratively with families to embed strategies into everyday routines, whether at home, school, or in the community. We recognise that sensory needs are unique to each child, and we tailor our approach accordingly.

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 occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or conditions like autism or ADHD. However, Peninsula Kids OT can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily functioning and development. If you suspect a diagnosis is needed, your GP or paediatrician can refer your child for formal assessment. Our role is to support your child's participation and wellbeing through therapy.
How does NDIS funding work with Peninsula Kids OT?
Peninsula Kids OT is NDIS registered, so if your child has an approved NDIS plan, you can use your funding to access our services. We work with you to understand your plan's goals and allocate therapy sessions accordingly. We recommend discussing funding arrangements during your initial consultation to ensure clarity about costs and session planning.
What should I expect in a sensory processing therapy session?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and may include sensory activities (like swings or weighted tools), fine motor exercises, and strategies for home. Peninsula Kids OT therapists observe how your child responds to different inputs and gradually build a program that helps them feel more regulated and confident. We also provide guidance for parents to support progress between sessions.
