Services Rehabilitation Specialists offers for early intervention
Early childhood is a critical period for developing sensory processing skills, which form the foundation for learning, play, and everyday functioning. At Rehabilitation Specialists, our paediatric occupational therapists support children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Sensory processing work might include activities such as using sensory swings or body socks to provide calming input, engaging in fine-motor play with textured materials like kinetic sand or threading activities, and structured movement games that build body awareness. These interventions help children develop better regulation, improve their ability to participate in daily routines, and enhance their readiness for learning. Rehabilitation Specialists is NDIS-registered, meaning families may be able to access funding through the NDIS 2025-26 scheme to support these services. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and early intervention services to ensure a coordinated approach. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions such as autism or sensory processing disorder; however, we can identify sensory sensitivities and support children's development through evidence-based practice.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Children with sensory processing difficulties may show signs like covering their ears at loud noises, avoiding certain textures, seeking constant movement, or struggling with transitions. An occupational therapist at Rehabilitation Specialists can observe your child's responses and discuss your concerns, though we cannot diagnose conditions. We'll help identify sensory sensitivities and recommend strategies to support your child's development.
Can my child's NDIS plan cover therapy at Rehabilitation Specialists?
Yes, Rehabilitation Specialists is NDIS-registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan with funding for occupational therapy, you may be able to use those funds with us. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child's goals within the 2025-26 NDIS funding arrangements.
What should I expect during my child's first appointment?
During the initial appointment, our occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns. We'll observe how your child plays and responds to their environment. This helps us understand your child's strengths and needs, then we'll discuss recommendations and next steps tailored to your family.
