Sensory processing Support at Roaming Therapy — VIC

Roaming Therapy supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted occupational therapy that helps them better understand and respond to sensory information from their environment. Sensory processing challenges can affect how children experience touch, sound, movement, and other stimuli, impacting their ability to concentrate, play, and participate in daily activities. At Roaming Therapy in Across, the sensory processing service uses evidence-based strategies tailored to each child's needs. Examples of interventions include weighted equipment activities to provide calming input, movement-based exercises using swings or balance equipment to improve body awareness, and graded exposure to different textures and sounds in a controlled setting. The occupational therapists also work with families to identify sensory triggers at home and school, developing practical strategies for everyday situations. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, they can assess how sensory challenges affect your child's function and wellbeing. Roaming Therapy can support families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements) to cover therapy costs, helping make these services more accessible. Each child's program is individualised, focusing on building confidence and independence in managing their sensory needs.
