Sensory processing Support at Ultra Occupational Therapy — Sydney, NSW

Ultra Occupational Therapy supports children with sensory processing difficulties through targeted interventions designed to help them manage and respond to sensory information more effectively. Sensory processing work at the clinic focuses on understanding how each child's nervous system responds to sights, sounds, textures, movement and touch, then building strategies to support their daily functioning. Examples of interventions include using sensory swings and weighted equipment to help children regulate their arousal levels—particularly useful for children who seek movement input or feel overwhelmed by activity. Ultra Occupational Therapy also incorporates fine-motor and coordination activities that build confidence during sensory-rich play, and may use visual schedules to help children anticipate and prepare for sensory experiences in their environment. The clinic works with families to identify triggers and develop practical coping strategies for home and school settings. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, they can assess functional difficulties and support children's participation in everyday activities. Families accessing services may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025–26 scheme, depending on their child's plan and circumstances. Ultra Occupational Therapy can discuss funding options during initial consultation.
