Services Play Partners offers for sensory processing
Play Partners lists fine motor skills as a service area that can support children experiencing sensory processing difficulties. Fine motor development—the coordination of small hand and finger movements—often intersects with sensory processing, as children need to integrate sensory feedback to control pencils, scissors, fasteners, and other tools effectively.
According to its listing, Play Partners may address fine motor through structured activities tailored to individual sensory needs. Examples of interventions typically used in paediatric occupational therapy for this overlap include threading and bead work, which combines tactile input with hand-eye coordination; scissor skills practice with graded resistance to build finger strength and proprioceptive awareness; and pencil grip activities using textured or weighted utensils to enhance sensory feedback during writing. These activities help children develop the motor control and sensory awareness needed for everyday tasks like dressing, eating, and schoolwork.
Families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26) may be able to direct support towards occupational therapy services listed by Play Partners, though NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should verify the clinic's current registration status and funding eligibility directly. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist.

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
How can fine motor therapy help a child who struggles with sensory processing?
Fine motor activities provide controlled sensory input through touch, movement, and resistance. By practising tasks like threading, cutting, or writing with textured tools, children develop better awareness of their hands and fingers. This sensory feedback helps the nervous system process and respond more effectively to everyday fine motor demands, potentially reducing frustration during self-care and school activities.
Does Play Partners require an NDIS plan to access services?
Play Partners' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. The clinic may offer services through NDIS funding, private payment, or other arrangements. Parents should contact Play Partners directly to discuss funding options, eligibility, and how to access services, whether through an active NDIS plan or alternative payment methods.
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. Diagnosis requires assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist. However, occupational therapists can observe sensory-related difficulties during activities and recommend strategies to support a child's participation in daily tasks while a formal diagnosis is being pursued.
