Sensory processing Support at Foundations Therapy & Support — VIC

Foundations Therapy & Support lists sensory processing and fine motor services as part of its paediatric occupational therapy offering. For children with sensory processing difficulties, these services typically address how a child's nervous system responds to sensory information from their environment. The clinic's sensory processing work may involve activities designed to help children regulate their responses to touch, sound, movement, and visual input. Examples of interventions commonly used in this area include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help with body awareness, and structured play activities that gradually introduce different textures or movement experiences. Fine motor services listed by Foundations Therapy & Support often complement sensory work, as fine motor control and sensory awareness are interconnected. Fine motor interventions might include hand strength exercises, pencil grip practice, or manipulation of small objects to build coordination and dexterity. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. Families interested in accessing services may explore NDIS funding options for 2025-26, though NDIS registration for Foundations Therapy & Support has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss their child's needs and available funding pathways.
