Sensory processing Support at Steps OTkids — Across VIC
Steps OTkids in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for sensory processing.
Services Steps OTkids offers for sensory processing
Children with sensory processing difficulties often struggle to interpret and respond to sensory information from their environment, which can affect their confidence, learning, and daily routines. Steps OTkids addresses these challenges through two interconnected services. Our sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to sights, sounds, textures, and movement through tailored activities—such as using sensory swings to improve vestibular input, working with weighted equipment to enhance body awareness, and creating calming sensory spaces at home. Our fine motor service complements this by developing the hand strength and coordination needed for writing, self-care, and play, which are often impacted when sensory processing affects motor planning. Many families access Steps OTkids through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements), which can support these services depending on individual plans. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with you to identify your child's specific sensory needs and develop practical strategies for home, school, and community settings. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD, we can assess functional difficulties and provide evidence-based support to help your child thrive.

About sensory processing

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. However, Steps OTkids can assess how sensory processing difficulties affect your child's everyday functioning—such as their ability to concentrate, participate in activities, or manage self-care. We work alongside other health professionals to support your child's needs.
How can NDIS funding help my child access services at Steps OTkids?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, funding may be available for occupational therapy services under the 2025-26 arrangements. Steps OTkids can discuss your plan with you and help identify which services align with your child's goals. Contact us to confirm current registration status and funding eligibility.
What can I do at home to support my child's sensory needs?
Steps OTkids provides practical strategies tailored to your child, such as creating predictable routines, using sensory tools (fidgets, weighted items), and modifying the home environment. Our occupational therapists guide you through activities and techniques you can use daily to help your child feel calmer and more regulated.
