Services Sensory Smart offers for sensory processing
Sensory Smart lists sensory processing as a service area for children in Port Macquarie. Occupational therapists typically address sensory processing difficulties by helping children develop better responses to sensory input from their environment. This might involve activities designed to help a child become more comfortable with certain textures, sounds, or movements, or to improve their ability to filter out distracting sensory information.
According to its listing, Sensory Smart may use interventions such as work with sensory swings or suspended equipment to help children develop body awareness and balance responses. The clinic may also incorporate weighted tools or clothing to provide calming input, and structured fine-motor activities that combine sensory feedback with skill-building. Visual schedules and environmental modifications are commonly used to help children anticipate transitions and reduce sensory overwhelm in daily routines.
Children with sensory processing difficulties may be eligible for support through NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, depending on their individual circumstances and plan approval. Parents considering Sensory Smart should note that occupational therapy addresses functional sensory responses; an occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. A formal diagnosis from a medical professional or psychologist would be needed separately. The clinic's listing indicates it works with children on sensory-related goals, though outcomes vary between individuals.

About sensory processing

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. An occupational therapist can assess how a child responds to sensory input and identify functional difficulties, but cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder. A diagnosis requires assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist. Sensory Smart can work with children on sensory-related goals once a child has been assessed, but diagnosis is outside the scope of occupational therapy.
Does Sensory Smart accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration for Sensory Smart has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to ask about their current NDIS status and whether they accept NDIS plans. If the clinic is registered, funding arrangements would depend on the child's individual NDIS plan and approved supports for the 2025-26 financial year.
What kinds of activities might my child do in sensory processing sessions?
According to Sensory Smart's listing, activities may include work with sensory swings or suspended equipment, use of weighted tools or clothing, and fine-motor tasks that provide sensory feedback. The clinic may also use visual schedules and environmental changes to help children manage sensory input. Specific activities depend on each child's individual needs and goals.
