Sensory processing Support at Physio Inq — WA

Physio Inq lists sensory processing as a service area for paediatric occupational therapy. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children respond to everyday sensations—such as touch, sound, movement, or visual input—and may impact their ability to participate in daily routines, learning, and play. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory processing through occupational therapy approaches.

When sensory processing is listed as a service, occupational therapists typically use graded sensory activities tailored to each child's needs. Common examples include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help children regulate their responses to movement and proprioceptive input, structured play activities that expose children to different textures and sounds in a controlled way, and environmental modifications to reduce overwhelming sensory input during routines like mealtimes or transitions. Physio Inq may also incorporate fine-motor and coordination activities that support children whose sensory difficulties affect their ability to engage with toys, writing tools, or self-care tasks.

Families accessing services through NDIS funding in 2025-26 may use their plan allocations for occupational therapy support. However, NDIS registration for Physio Inq has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should verify funding eligibility directly with the clinic. A formal diagnosis is not required to access occupational therapy support for sensory concerns, though an occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD.
