Sensory processing Support at Inner West Paediatrics — NSW

Inner West Paediatrics lists sensory processing and fine motor services as areas of support for children with sensory processing disorder. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory processing difficulties through activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input. Examples of interventions typically used in occupational therapy for this condition include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items, and structured activities that help children become more aware of their body in space. Fine motor support listed by Inner West Paediatrics may involve exercises targeting hand strength, coordination, and control—areas that can be affected when sensory processing difficulties impact a child's ability to manipulate objects or manage fine motor tasks. Activities might include threading, scissor work, or pencil grip exercises tailored to the child's needs. 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 if eligible, with support available under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. Parents should contact Inner West Paediatrics directly to discuss how its listed services align with their child's specific needs and any funding pathways available.
