Early intervention Support at Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre — Bendigo, VIC
Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre in Bendigo, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in movement, coordination, and sensory awareness. At Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre in Bendigo, occupational therapy supports these critical areas through targeted intervention. Fine motor development—essential for writing, self-care, and play—is strengthened through activities like threading beads, scissor practice, and playdough manipulation. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to everyday stimuli; this might involve sensory swing work to improve body awareness, or use of weighted equipment during tabletop activities to enhance focus and calm. A third example is structured play-based learning that combines both areas, such as sand tray activities that develop hand strength whilst providing calming sensory input. Early intervention during these formative years can support children's confidence and participation in school and community settings. Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre works with families to identify developmental goals and create practical strategies for home and early education environments. Funding through the NDIS (2025–26) may be available for eligible children; families are encouraged to discuss their circumstances with the clinic to explore support options.

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 needs occupational therapy for early development?
Signs may include difficulty with fine motor tasks (holding pencils, fastening buttons), unusual responses to sensory experiences (covering ears, avoiding textures), or delays in self-care skills. Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre can discuss your observations and help determine whether an occupational therapy assessment would be helpful. An OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, but can identify developmental areas to support.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre?
NDIS funding may be available for eligible children under early intervention or other support categories in the 2025–26 scheme. Eligibility and funding amounts vary. Contact Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre directly to discuss your child's circumstances and whether NDIS support might apply to their services.
What happens during a typical occupational therapy session for a young child?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's age and interests. The therapist might use activities like sensory play, fine motor games, or movement tasks to build skills in a fun, engaging way. Psych Assessment and Therapy Centre also shares strategies with parents so you can support development at home between sessions.
