Services Children’s Occupational Therapy offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on children's ability to process and respond to sensory information from their environment. Children's Occupational Therapy supports this foundational skill through sensory processing interventions tailored to each child's needs. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children engage with play, learning, and daily routines, and addressing these early can support smoother development across multiple areas.
At Children's Occupational Therapy, sensory interventions are designed to help children become more organised and regulated. Examples include using sensory swings or body socks to provide calming input, engaging children in messy play activities like sand and water play to build tolerance for different textures, and incorporating movement-based games that develop body awareness and coordination. These activities are woven into play-based sessions that feel natural and enjoyable for young children.
If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025–26 financial year, Children's Occupational Therapy can discuss how occupational therapy services might be incorporated into a plan. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder—this requires a medical professional—but an OT can identify functional difficulties and work collaboratively with your family to support your child's development.

About early intervention
Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs sensory processing support?
Children may benefit from sensory support if they seem unusually sensitive to sounds, textures, or movement; avoid certain activities; struggle with transitions; or have difficulty with self-regulation during play or routines. An occupational therapist at Children's Occupational Therapy can observe your child and discuss your concerns, though they cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder—that requires medical assessment.
Will occupational therapy sessions feel like 'therapy' to my child?
No. Early childhood sessions at Children's Occupational Therapy are play-based and child-led. The therapist uses games, movement, and sensory activities that feel fun and natural. This approach helps children engage willingly and makes learning feel effortless, which is especially important for young children.
Can I use NDIS funding for services at Children's Occupational Therapy?
Children's Occupational Therapy can discuss NDIS funding options with you. While registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic, many families use NDIS plans to access occupational therapy in 2025–26. Contact the clinic to clarify their current registration and how they can support your funding arrangements.
