Sensory processing Support at Together OT — Deakin, ACT

Together OT lists sensory processing and fine motor services according to its directory profile. For children with sensory processing difficulties, these listed services typically address how a child responds to sensory information from their environment—such as touch, sound, movement, and visual input—and how this affects their daily functioning and learning.

Sensory processing support, as listed by Together OT, may involve activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input. Examples might include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or compression tools, movement-based activities using swings or balance boards, and graded exposure to different textures and sounds in a controlled setting. Fine motor services listed by the clinic often complement sensory work, as fine motor control—such as pencil grip, scissor use, and hand coordination—can be affected when sensory processing is atypical.

Activities might include threading tasks, play-based hand strengthening exercises, or structured craft activities that combine sensory input with motor planning. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis typically comes from other health professionals. NDIS registration for Together OT has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot.
