Services Penrith City Childcare Services offers for early intervention
Penrith City Childcare Services supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy interventions designed to help them engage more comfortably with their environment. Sensory processing challenges can affect how children respond to everyday stimuli like sounds, textures, movement, and touch, potentially impacting their participation in learning and play. At Penrith City Childcare Services, occupational therapists work with children using evidence-based strategies including sensory diet activities (such as swinging, trampolining, or using weighted blankets), fine motor skill development through play-based tasks like threading beads or using adaptive scissors, and environmental modifications to reduce sensory overwhelm. These interventions support children's readiness for early learning and social participation. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025–26 financial year, Penrith City Childcare Services is registered to provide therapy services that can be claimed under early intervention supports. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder; however, they can identify sensory-related difficulties and implement strategies to support your child's development and everyday functioning.

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 sensitivities may cover their ears at loud noises, avoid certain textures in food or clothing, seek constant movement, or struggle with transitions. An occupational therapist at Penrith City Childcare Services can observe your child's responses and discuss your concerns, though they cannot diagnose conditions. If you're concerned, speak with your GP or early childhood educator for guidance on assessment options.
Can I access Penrith City Childcare Services through the NDIS?
Yes, Penrith City Childcare Services is NDIS-registered and can provide occupational therapy services funded through early intervention supports in the 2025–26 financial year. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your child's eligibility, funding arrangements, and how to arrange an initial consultation with an occupational therapist.
What should I expect during my child's first appointment?
Your occupational therapist will discuss your child's development, daily routines, and any sensory concerns you've noticed. They'll observe your child at play and may suggest strategies you can use at home and in childcare settings. The therapist will work collaboratively with you to develop an individualised plan supporting your child's participation and development.
