Sensory processing Support at Steps2Life Occupational Therapy — Mirrabooka, NSW

Steps2Life Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor services on its directory profile. For children with sensory processing disorder, occupational therapists typically use sensory processing interventions to help children respond more appropriately to everyday sensations. This might include activities such as work with sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, or structured play activities designed to help children tolerate and organise sensory information from their environment. Fine motor support often complements sensory work, as children with sensory processing differences may also experience difficulty with tasks requiring hand strength and coordination, such as writing, fastening buttons, or using cutlery. Steps2Life Occupational Therapy may address these areas through targeted exercises and adaptive strategies. If a child has been diagnosed with sensory processing disorder by a medical professional, NDIS funding may be available to support occupational therapy services in the 2025–26 financial year, depending on the child's plan and goals. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist. The clinic's listing indicates it is NDIS registered, though this has not been independently verified by the directory.
