Sensory processing Support at Carousel Occupational Therapy — Burwood, NSW

Carousel Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor services as areas of support for children experiencing sensory processing difficulties. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory processing through interventions designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input from their environment. Examples of activities that occupational therapists typically use for this purpose include work with sensory swings and suspended equipment to provide vestibular input, use of weighted items such as weighted blankets or lap pads to support calming, and structured sensory circuits involving movement and tactile exploration. Fine motor support listed by Carousel Occupational Therapy often complements sensory work, as difficulties with coordination and hand strength can co-occur with sensory sensitivities. Fine motor interventions might include precision grip activities, hand strengthening exercises, and tool use practice. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme, therapy costs and eligibility should be discussed directly with the clinic, as Carousel Occupational Therapy's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families may also explore private payment options or other funding pathways when considering support.
