Early intervention Support at The Willow Tree Clinic — Across NSW
The Willow Tree Clinic in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services The Willow Tree Clinic offers for early intervention
The Willow Tree Clinic supports children's early childhood development through specialised sensory processing work, which helps children regulate their responses to everyday sensations and environments. During the early intervention years, children benefit from tailored sensory activities that build confidence and engagement. At The Willow Tree Clinic, occupational therapists might use sensory swings or weighted blankets to help children who are under-responsive to movement, or provide calming strategies like deep pressure activities for those who become overwhelmed by sensory input. Fine-motor activities—such as threading, playdough manipulation, and mark-making—develop the hand strength and coordination needed for later learning. The clinic also incorporates visual supports and structured routines to help children navigate transitions and understand expectations. While funding arrangements vary, families may access support through NDIS plans (2025–26) if their child has an eligible condition. The Willow Tree Clinic works collaboratively with families and other professionals to identify sensory needs early, though occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder—this remains a medical role. Early intervention during these foundational years can help children develop skills that support their participation in play, learning, and daily routines.

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
How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Children with sensory sensitivities might cover their ears at loud noises, avoid certain textures in food or clothing, seem clumsy, or struggle to sit still. An occupational therapist at The Willow Tree Clinic can observe your child's responses and discuss your concerns, though they cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—that requires a medical assessment. Early observation helps identify whether sensory support could benefit your child's development.
Can The Willow Tree Clinic help if my child is on an NDIS plan?
The Willow Tree Clinic works with families accessing NDIS support, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. If your child has an eligible condition and an approved NDIS plan, sensory processing support may be funded as part of early intervention or capacity-building goals. Contact the clinic to discuss how your plan might cover occupational therapy services.
What happens during a sensory processing session?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's needs. The occupational therapist might use swings, weighted equipment, or tactile activities to help your child explore and regulate sensory input. Sessions also include guidance for parents on strategies to use at home. The Willow Tree Clinic focuses on making therapy enjoyable while building skills that support your child's everyday participation.
