Sensory processing Support at Physio Inq — Across NSW

Children with sensory processing disorder often struggle to interpret and respond to sensory information from their environment, which can affect their confidence, learning, and daily activities. At Physio Inq, our occupational therapists address these challenges through targeted sensory processing and fine motor interventions. Our sensory processing service helps children regulate their responses to touch, movement, sound, and visual input through carefully graded activities. For example, we might use sensory swings or weighted equipment to help children who seek or avoid certain sensory experiences, or introduce structured fine motor activities like threading, cutting, and handwriting practice to build the hand strength and coordination needed for school tasks. Fine motor work is particularly important, as sensory difficulties often co-occur with coordination challenges that impact writing and self-care skills. Physio Inq is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access these services through NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme year. Our therapists work collaboratively with families to create strategies that make daily routines—mealtimes, getting dressed, transitions—more manageable. We cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, as this requires medical assessment, but we can support children once a diagnosis or concern has been identified by their doctor or paediatrician.
