Sensory processing Support at Thrive Occupational Therapy — Shepparton, VIC

Thrive Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor support as core services, both of which are commonly used to help children with sensory processing difficulties. Sensory processing support typically involves activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input—such as touch, sound, movement, and visual stimuli. According to its listing, the clinic may use approaches like sensory swing work, weighted equipment use, and structured sensory activities to support children who are either over-responsive or under-responsive to sensory information. Fine motor interventions often complement sensory work, as difficulties with coordination and hand strength can overlap with sensory challenges. Examples of fine motor activities include threading, scissor work, and hand-strengthening exercises that also provide proprioceptive (body awareness) feedback. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. Thrive Occupational Therapy's listing does not confirm NDIS registration in the current directory snapshot. Families interested in NDIS funding for occupational therapy services should verify the clinic's registration status directly and check current 2025-26 funding arrangements with the NDIS, as eligibility and session allocations vary by participant plan.
