Sensory processing Support at You and Me OT — Across WA

Children with sensory processing difficulties often struggle with how their bodies interpret touch, movement, sound, and other sensations, which can affect their confidence and participation in daily activities. You and Me OT supports these children through two key service areas. Our sensory processing service helps children develop better awareness and tolerance of sensory input through carefully graded activities—such as using sensory swings to build vestibular confidence, working with weighted blankets or compression tools to improve body awareness, and exploring different textures during play-based sessions. Our fine motor service complements this by addressing the coordination and hand strength challenges that often accompany sensory difficulties, using activities like threading, scissor work, and pencil grip exercises tailored to each child's needs. You and Me OT recognises that sensory processing and fine motor skills are interconnected; improving one often supports progress in the other. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025-26, our team can discuss how occupational therapy services may be incorporated into your plan. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—these diagnoses come from medical professionals—but we can work with your child's existing diagnosis to build practical skills and confidence.
