Services Thrive Health Therapies offers for sensory processing
Thrive Health Therapies supports children with sensory processing difficulties through tailored occupational therapy that addresses how their nervous system responds to everyday sensations. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their responses to touch, sound, movement, and visual input, making daily activities more manageable. At Thrive Health Therapies, therapists use evidence-based strategies such as sensory diet activities—customised movement and tactile experiences delivered throughout the day—to help children stay calm and focused. Examples include using weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, swinging or rocking activities to develop balance and coordination, and fine-motor tasks like threading or playdough work to build confidence with hand skills. The clinic also creates visual supports and environmental modifications to reduce overwhelming sensory triggers at home and school. Many families access Thrive Health Therapies through NDIS funding (2025–26), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when sensory processing needs are documented. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD; however, they work closely with your child's medical team to address the functional impacts of sensory sensitivities and build coping strategies that support participation in school, play, and family life.

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, or ADHD. However, they can assess how sensory sensitivities affect your child's daily functioning—such as eating, dressing, or playing—and work with your GP or paediatrician to support your child's needs. Thrive Health Therapies collaborates with your child's medical team to provide coordinated care.
How can NDIS funding help cover therapy at Thrive Health Therapies?
If your child has an NDIS plan that includes funding for occupational therapy, Thrive Health Therapies is registered to provide these services. NDIS funding (2025–26) can cover sessions when sensory processing or related functional needs are documented in your plan. Contact the clinic to discuss your funding and how sessions can be arranged.
What should I expect in a sensory processing session?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and needs. Your therapist might use swings, weighted equipment, fine-motor activities, or calming strategies depending on whether your child needs more input or less stimulation. You'll receive strategies to use at home, and the therapist will communicate progress with your school and family regularly.
