Services SPOTS offers for sensory processing
Children with sensory processing disorder often benefit from fine motor skill development, which SPOTS lists as a service. Fine motor work—the coordination of small hand and finger movements—frequently intersects with sensory processing support because many children with sensory sensitivities experience difficulty with tasks requiring precise hand control, such as writing, fastening buttons, or using cutlery. SPOTS may address this through targeted activities designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence in everyday tasks.
According to its listing, the clinic's fine motor interventions might include activities such as threading beads or manipulating small objects to improve finger dexterity, scissor skills training to develop hand strength and control, or pencil grip exercises to support writing readiness. These activities often incorporate sensory elements—for example, using textured materials or weighted tools—to help children process tactile input while developing motor skills simultaneously.
Children with sensory processing differences may find that improving fine motor control reduces frustration during self-care and academic tasks. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy services listed by SPOTS may be eligible for support under participant plans, though funding availability and plan allocations vary individually. Parents considering SPOTS should discuss their child's specific sensory and motor needs during initial consultation to understand how the clinic's listed services align with their child's requirements.

About sensory processing
Sensory Processing Disorder is the term often used by families and clinicians to describe difficulties with how a child's brain interprets and responds to sensory information. This can affect how a child manages sound, touch, movement, sights, smells, tastes, and body awareness.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD, or other conditions. However, an OT can assess how a child processes sensory information and identify functional difficulties in daily activities. A formal diagnosis requires assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist. SPOTS can provide observations and recommendations to support diagnostic processes undertaken by other professionals.
How does fine motor work help children with sensory sensitivities?
Fine motor activities often incorporate sensory input—such as handling different textures or using weighted tools—while building hand strength and coordination. This dual approach can help children become more confident with tasks like writing or self-care. SPOTS lists fine motor services that may be tailored to address both motor skill development and sensory processing needs, though individual outcomes depend on each child's specific profile.
Is SPOTS NDIS registered, and can NDIS funding cover these services?
SPOTS is listed as NDIS registered in the directory; however, this has not been independently verified. If registered, occupational therapy services may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025-26, depending on a child's plan and approved supports. Parents should confirm current registration status directly with the clinic and discuss funding eligibility before commencing services.
