Services Women’s and Children’s Hospital offers for sensory processing
Women's and Children's Hospital's paediatric occupational therapy clinic offers sensory processing support tailored to help children who struggle with how their bodies respond to touch, movement, sound, and other sensory input. Through structured sensory processing therapy, occupational therapists work with children to build tolerance and regulation skills in a safe, graded environment. Common interventions at Women's and Children's Hospital include sensory swing activities that provide vestibular input to improve balance and body awareness, use of weighted blankets or vests to support calming and focus during daily tasks, and fine-motor activities such as threading, playdough work, and scissor skills that help children process tactile feedback. Therapists also create individualised sensory diets—personalised activity plans children can use at home and school to stay regulated throughout the day. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025–26 scheme, occupational therapy services may be covered as part of your plan. Women's and Children's Hospital can discuss funding options during your initial consultation. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD; however, they can assess sensory responses and recommend strategies to support your child's participation in everyday activities.

About sensory processing

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs sensory processing support?
Children who avoid certain textures, sounds, or movements; seek intense sensory input; struggle with transitions; or have difficulty with self-care tasks like dressing or eating may benefit from assessment. Women's and Children's Hospital's occupational therapists can evaluate your child's sensory responses and discuss whether therapy could help. An initial consultation is a good first step to explore your concerns.
Can occupational therapy diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD. However, they assess how your child responds to sensory input and can recommend strategies and activities to support regulation and participation. A paediatrician or developmental specialist can provide a diagnosis if needed.
Will NDIS funding cover therapy at Women's and Children's Hospital?
Occupational therapy may be funded through NDIS if it's included in your child's plan. Funding availability depends on your child's eligibility and plan goals under the 2025–26 scheme. Contact Women's and Children's Hospital directly to discuss your funding situation and what services they can offer.
