Services TOTS offers for sensory processing

TOTS provides specialised sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness of and responses to sensory information from their environment. Through tailored occupational therapy, children learn to regulate their sensory systems and participate more confidently in everyday activities. At TOTS, interventions might include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or compression vests to help calm an overactive nervous system, structured activities using sensory swings or trampolines to improve body awareness and coordination, and graded exposure to challenging sensory experiences in a safe, controlled setting. Our occupational therapists also help families understand their child's sensory needs and suggest practical strategies for home and school environments. Many families access TOTS services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. While NDIS registration status for TOTS is currently being confirmed, families are encouraged to enquire about funding options. Each child's sensory profile is unique, and TOTS works collaboratively with families to develop individualised approaches that support their child's participation and wellbeing.

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 or conditions like autism or ADHD. However, TOTS occupational therapists are skilled at identifying sensory sensitivities and difficulties through observation and assessment, then developing strategies to support your child. A diagnosis would need to come from a medical professional such as a paediatrician or psychologist.

How can NDIS funding help us access TOTS services?

If your child is NDIS-eligible, funding can be used to cover occupational therapy sessions. TOTS can discuss funding options with you, though registration status is currently being confirmed. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements allow for occupational therapy support. Contact TOTS directly to discuss your child's eligibility and how funding might apply to their care.

What should I expect during a sensory processing session at TOTS?

Sessions at TOTS typically begin with the occupational therapist understanding your child's sensory preferences and challenges. They'll use activities tailored to your child's needs—such as sensory play, movement activities, or equipment work—in a calm, supportive environment. Your therapist will also share strategies you can use at home to support your child's sensory regulation between sessions.
