Services Smiling Star Occupational Therapy offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on a child's ability to process and respond to sensory information from their environment. At Smiling Star Occupational Therapy in Across, we support children whose sensory processing may be affecting their development through tailored interventions. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to touch, movement, sound and visual input, which underpins their ability to engage with learning, play and social interaction. Our occupational therapists might use activities such as weighted blanket work to help a child feel more grounded during transitions, obstacle course activities that build body awareness and coordination, or fine-motor play with textured materials to develop hand strength and dexterity. These interventions support the foundations children need for school readiness and everyday participation. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025–26, Smiling Star Occupational Therapy can discuss how occupational therapy services may be incorporated into your child's plan. We work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's development journey.

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
Can occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing difficulties?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism, ADHD or sensory processing disorder. However, our occupational therapists at Smiling Star can observe how your child responds to sensory experiences and identify areas where support may help their development and participation in daily activities. A diagnosis would come from a medical professional or psychologist.
How do I know if my child might benefit from sensory processing support?
Children who seem unusually sensitive to sounds, textures or movement, or who seek out intense sensory input, may benefit from support. Signs include difficulty with transitions, avoiding certain foods or clothing, or struggling to concentrate in busy environments. Smiling Star Occupational Therapy can chat with you about your observations and discuss whether an assessment might be helpful.

NDIS registration status for Smiling Star Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options and whether you might be eligible for NDIS support in 2025–26.
