Early intervention Support at Inner West Paediatrics — NSW

Inner West Paediatrics lists fine motor and sensory processing support as services relevant to early childhood development. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, hand strength, and coordination—are foundational for activities like self-feeding, dressing, and later writing. The clinic may use targeted exercises and play-based activities to build these abilities. Sensory processing refers to how children interpret information from their environment through touch, movement, and balance. Children with sensory sensitivities or under-responsiveness may benefit from structured sensory experiences. Inner West Paediatrics' listed approach may include activities such as using textured materials during play, practising bilateral coordination tasks with craft materials, or incorporating movement-based activities to support body awareness and motor planning.

For families accessing early intervention support, NDIS funding (2025-26) may be available to cover occupational therapy services where a child has been identified as having a developmental delay or disability. However, NDIS registration for Inner West Paediatrics has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should verify the clinic's funding eligibility directly. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions such as autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder, but can assess functional skills and support development across daily activities. Parents considering Inner West Paediatrics should discuss their child's specific needs and any funding arrangements during initial contact.
